Hello,

Our application will be permit multiple hosts connection and access some pen drive data. But the pen drive can accept only one host to access it. So, we use external EEPROM to temporarily storge data / paramaters, then release previous host link (for link pen drive permission) after new host plug-in U3 Hub.

We have interested HX3/HX3C and want to know how to process this use case on the HX3/HX3C. Please share your suggestion. Thank you. BTW, application is Video conference.

Hi,

HX3C maybe a choice if you are planning on Type-C ports. Can you provide more information on the ports? How many Type-C ports? How many of them will require PD? Do you need this product in-field-upgradeable (firmware)? Please note that HX3C Type-C+PD part is fixed in functionality and your implementation needs to match its configuration. Only the hub is configurable.

Regards,

Rajath

Please clarify:

1. Which interface does the notebook#1 have? Is it Type-C port?

2. Please clarify which are the hosts and which are the devices in your application.
