GETTING STARTED

The Microchip EVB-USB4715 is designed for flexible configuration solutions. It can be

configured via default internal register settings, downloadable external firmware to an

onboard SPI Flash, through SMBus, or through the onboard configuration switches.

Microchip provides a comprehensive software programming tool, MPLAB® Connect,

for configuring USB4715 functions, registers, and OTP memory. When configured with

the default internal register settings, the device operates as a USB 2.0 hub with 4 USB

ports and Microchip’s standard VID/PID/DID settings. For additional information on the

MPLAB Connect programming tool, refer to Software Libraries within Microchip

Quick Start

To quickly start using the board, perform the following steps:

1. Connect the included 12V power supply to barrel connector on the

EVB-USB4715 (J11).

2. Using a USB Type-A plug to USB micro-B plug cable, connect the

EVB-USB4715 to a USB host via the upstream “Port 0” USB micro-B socket (J4).

3. You may now connect devices to any of the downstream ports to enumerate and

use those devices with the USB host.

4. Connect a shunt to jumper “VBUS_DET” (J4).

5. Slide the “ON/OFF” switch (SW2) to “ON”.

6. You can perform additional configuration or evaluate specific features by launch-

ing the MPLAB Connect software on your USB host or by manipulating the

included hardware configuration options detailed in the next section.
