Microchip Technology EVB-USB4715 Evaluation Kit

Microchip Technology EVB-USB4715 Evaluation Kit allows developers to evaluate and demonstrate the properties of the USB4715 USB 2.0 Hub Controller. The EVB-USB4715 Evaluation Kit supports four downstream ports; two USB 2.0 ports with Type-C connectors and two standard Type-A USB 2.0 ports. The EVB-USB4715 also supports battery charging on all four ports, with a maximum of 10A at any one time, when using a 12V, 85W power supply. 

The EVB-USB4715 Evaluation Kit is configured for operation through internal default settings and supports custom configurations through SMBus or the external 16-Mbit SPI Flash device. The EVB-USB4715 supports FlexConnect role reversal for any of the four downstream ports with the upstream port. The EVB-USB4715 demonstrates driver compatibility with Microsoft® Windows® 10, Windows 8.x, Windows 7, Windows XP, Mac OS® X 10.4+, and Linux® hub drivers.
