The RPI-HUB-MODULE is a USB HUB and USB to dual channel multi interface converter module designed for Raspberry Pi. It utilises an FT2232H USB to UART/MPSSE IC, along with a GL850G USB hub controller IC. The FT2232H based RPi HUB module is a USB to UART/245FIFO/SPI/I2C/JTAG/GPIO interface expansion module targeted at connecting to Raspberry Pi computer to expand the number of interfaces. However, it is not limited to this application. It can also be used as a HUB device or an FT2232H evaluation module. The module has a USB 2.0 high speed HUB chip which supports up to three external downstream USB ports. This module utilises the GL850G USB 2.0 HUB controller which provides a low cost and widely used USB 2.0 HUB solution, to provide up to 4 downstream USB ports. The GL850G is a single chip USB hub solution. The GL850G is a full function solution which supports both Individual/Gang power management modes and two colour (green/amber) status LED.
