Optimus Hub

Optimus hub is a USB 2.0 hub which has USB Type-C upstream port and 6 downstream USB Type-A port and one TF-Card reader

Features:

  • Optimus Eyes colour changes when there is a fault in downstream ports
  • 6 downstram Ports with true USB 2.0 capabilities (it should have)
  • ESD protection for each Port
  • Master switch that automatically cuts downstram power to save equipments
  • A TF-Card Reader on USB-HUB

Questions

How big is the Optimus Hub PCB?

It measures 72.7 × 88.7 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Optimus Hub use?

76 parts, built around the GL850G-HHY60, GL823K-HCY04, TPD2E001DRYR and TPS2552DBVR-1. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Optimus Hub KiCad files?

From the devisunofficial/Optimus-Hub repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Optimus-Hub/Optimus-Hub.kicad_pcb and its schematic Optimus-Hub/Optimus-Hub.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Optimus Hub design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask devisunofficial before reusing the design.
