Integrated detach resistor
Operation
The BCM4339 can be configured to boot up as either a single USB peripheral or a USB hub with several USB
peripherals attached. As a single peripheral, the host detects a single USB Bluetooth device. In hub mode, the
host detects a hub with one to three of the ports already connected to USB devices (see Figure 16).

Bluetooth
Depending on the desired hub mode configuration, the BCM4339 can boot up showing the three ports
connected to logical USB devices internal to the BCM4339: a generic Bluetooth device, a mouse, and a
keyboard. In this mode, the mouse and keyboard are emulated devices, since they connect to real HID devices
via a Bluetooth link. The Bluetooth link to these HID devices is hidden from the USB host. To the host, the mouse
and/or keyboard appear to be directly connected to the USB port. This Broadcom proprietary architecture is
called USB HID Emulation (UHE).
The USB device, configuration, and string descriptors are fully programmable, allowing manufacturers to
customize the descriptors, including vendor and product IDs, the BCM4339 uses to identify itself on the USB
port. To make custom USB descriptor information available at boot time, stored it in external NVRAM.
