APPLICATION ALTERNATIVES

The FE8.1 can be either powered by 5V or 3.3V power source. If 3.3V power source is used, then
VDD5 must be tied to ground to insure proper operations.

Note: The power consumption is measured when the bus is in IDLE state – there is no activities
other than the Start-Of-Frame (SOF) and INTERRUPT-IN packets for the hub itself on the bus.
The peak power consumption varies depending upon the system configuration, type of operations,
and over-all bus utilization.
