SEGGER USB Hub-13

Introduction

The SEGGER USB Hub-13 is an industrial-grade USB-C hub designed for production and gang-programming setups. It provides 13 downstream USB Type-C connections for powering and communicating with multiple devices, with a USB-C 2.0 high-speed upstream connection to the host system. Its isolated upstream interface and wide 8 V to 30 V power-input range make it suited to integration into dedicated programming fixtures and production equipment.

What it does

The USB Hub-13 distributes USB power and data from one upstream USB-C host connection to 13 downstream USB-C ports. It is intended for environments where several programming devices or targets need to be connected at the same time.

A stated use is connecting multiple SEGGER Flasher Compact units to a Flasher Hub-4 or Flasher Hub-12. The hub includes basic 3.75 kV RMS isolation on the upstream connection, along with overload protection. These features help separate the host-side connection from the downstream programming setup while providing protection against overload conditions.

The unit accepts an external 8 V to 30 V supply, allowing it to be used with common industrial DC power systems. Its removable top plexiglass plate provides physical access or protection appropriate to the installation.

Applications

• Gang-programming stations using multiple SEGGER Flasher Compact units
• Production fixtures requiring multiple USB-C power and data connections
• Automated programming or test benches with a USB-C host interface
• Industrial workstations powered from an 8 V to 30 V DC supply
• Multi-device USB connectivity arrangements requiring upstream isolation

Design considerations

The hub has 13 USB-C downstream ports, so system designers should account for cable routing, connected-device placement, and the power requirements of all attached equipment. The host-side interface is USB-C 2.0 high speed; installations should therefore be designed around USB 2.0 high-speed connectivity rather than assuming higher USB data rates.

The specified input range is 8 V to 30 V, and the operating environment is +5 °C to +60 °C with relative humidity below 90% non-condensing. The enclosure measures 162 mm × 61 mm × 25 mm, which is relevant when allocating space in a programming rack, fixture, or production enclosure. Upstream isolation and overload protection are included, but the supplied information does not specify protection characteristics for individual downstream ports.
