CHAPTER 1  GENERAL DESCRIPTION   
Genesys GL3510 is a 4-port, low-power, and configurable hub controller. It is compliant with the USB 3.1 
specification. GL3510 integrates Genesys Logic self-developed USB 3.1 Gen 1 Super Speed transmitter/receiver 
physical layer (PHY) and USB 2.0 High-Speed PHY. It supports Super Speed, Hi-Speed, and Full-Speed USB 
connections and is fully backward compatible to all USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 hosts. GL3510 has built-in 5V to 
3.3V and 5V to 1.2V regulators, which saves customers’ BOM cost, and eases for PCB design. 
 
GL3510 features the native fast-charging and complies with USB-IF battery charging specification rev1.2, it 
could fast-charge Apple, Samsung Galaxy devices, and any device complaint with BC1.2/1.1. It also allows 
portable devices to draw up to 1.5A from GL3510 charging downstream ports (CDP1) or dedicated charging port 
(DCP2). It can enable systems to fast charge handheld devices even during “Sleep” and “Power-off” modes. 
 
All available packages for GL3510 are listed as the following tables.

*Note: TT (transaction translator) implements the control logic defined in Section 11.14 ~ 11.22 of USB 
specification revision 2.0. TT basically handles the unbalanced traffic speed between the USPORT (operating in 
HS) and DSPORTS (operating in FS/LS) of hub. 
 
 
                                                 
1  CDP, charging downstream port, the Battery Charging Rev.1.2-compliant USB port that does data 
communication and charges device up to 1.5A. 
2  DCP, dedicated charging port, the Battery Charging Rev.1.2-compliant USB port that only charges devices up 
to 1.5A, similar to wall chargers.
