Hi all,

I'm looking for a USB hub controller (how many ports exactly doesn't matter, can work around that) that has status output pins indicating the state of the port. Ideally I'm looking for an output indicating if a device is connected, if that device is initialised, and if communication is happening (similar to RX/TX LEDs on a UART).

Does anyone know of a USB hub IC with such additional functionality? Other suggestions are also welcome. I'm OK with "difficult" packages such as BGAs if necessary.

Thank you in advance!

Many USB hub controllers provide monitoring functionality. I have used e.g. SMSC/Microchip high speed and superspeed hubs USB2514 and USB5734, they can be configured to expose speed/connection LEDs. There's however no access to communication state.
