Short Circuit Transient
Bulk capacitance provides the short-term
transient current needed during a hot-attachment
event. A 33µF/16V tantalum or a 100µF/10V
electrolytic capacitor mounted close to
downstream connector each port should provide
transient drop protection.

Printed Circuit Layout
The power circuitry of USB printed circuit boards
requires a customized layout to maximize thermal
dissipation and to minimize voltage drop and EMI.
