MPN Structure

Genesys Logic MPNs follow this general structure:

   |       |       |       +-- Package letter: G=LQFP, Q=QFN, S=SSOP
   |       |       +-- Model digits (varies by series)
   |       +-- Series: 85, 35, 32, 33, 36, 98
   +-- GL prefix (all Genesys Logic products)

Handler Implementation Notes

Pattern Matching

// GL850/GL852 series - USB 2.0 hubs (GL850G, GL852G)
"^GL85[0-9][A-Z].*"

// GL35xx series - USB 3.0/3.1 hubs (GL3510, GL3520, GL3523, GL3590)
"^GL35[0-9]{2}.*"

// GL36xx series - USB 3.1 Gen 2 hubs
"^GL36[0-9]{2}.*"

// GL32xx series - Card readers (GL3220, GL3224, GL3227)
"^GL32[0-9]{2}.*"

// GL33xx series - USB 3.0 card readers
"^GL33[0-9]{2}.*"

// GL98xx series - USB PD controllers (GL9801, GL9802)
"^GL98[0-9]{2}.*"

Package Code Extraction

// Step 1: Remove -REEL, -TR suffixes
String cleanMpn = mpn.replaceAll("-?(REEL|TR)$", "");

// Step 2: Check for hyphenated package (GL3523-QFN88)
int hyphen = cleanMpn.indexOf('-');
if (hyphen > 0) {
    String afterHyphen = cleanMpn.substring(hyphen + 1);
    String packageType = afterHyphen.replaceAll("[0-9]+$", ""); // Remove pin count
    return packageType;  // e.g., "QFN"
}

// Step 3: Check for 3-digit + letter format (GL850G)
if (cleanMpn.matches("^GL[0-9]{3}[A-Z]$")) {
    String suffix = cleanMpn.substring(cleanMpn.length() - 1);
    return resolvePackageCode(suffix);  // G -> LQFP
}

Series Extraction

Returns specific series identifiers:

GL850G -> "GL850"
GL852G -> "GL852"
GL3510 -> "GL3510"
GL3523 -> "GL3523"

Port Count Reference

Series	Downstream Ports
GL850, GL852	4
GL3510, GL3520	4
GL3523	7
GL3590	4

MTT Support (Multiple Transaction Translator)

MTT allows better performance when multiple USB 2.0 devices are connected behind a USB 3.0 hub.

Part	MTT Support
GL850G, GL852G	No
GL3510	No
GL3520	Yes
GL3523	Yes
GL3590	No

Official Replacements

Upgrade Paths

Original	Replacement	Notes
GL850G	GL852G	Same port count, improved features
GL3510	GL3520	Same port count, adds MTT

Package Variants

Parts with same series but different packages are interchangeable functionally:

GL850G (LQFP) can be replaced by GL850Q (QFN) with PCB redesign
GL3523-QFN88 is the standard package for GL3523

Common Use Cases

USB Hub Designs

USB 3.0 hub	GL3520	4-port with MTT
Multi-port USB 3.0	GL3523	7-port with MTT
High-speed USB 3.1	GL36xx	USB 3.1 Gen 2

Card Reader Designs

Application	Recommended Part	Notes
USB 2.0 card reader	GL3220	Basic USB 2.0
USB 3.0 card reader	GL33xx	Higher speed

Learnings & Edge Cases

3-digit vs 4-digit: GL85x uses 3-digit model + package letter (GL850G), while GL35xx uses 4-digit model + hyphenated package (GL3523-QFN88).
Package suffix position: For 3-digit models, package letter is concatenated; for 4-digit models, package comes after hyphen.
Pin count in package: QFN88 means 88-pin QFN - the number is pin count, not part of package type.
Tape and reel: -REEL and -TR suffixes should be stripped before extracting package code.
MTT importance: For USB 3.0 hubs with many USB 2.0 devices, MTT support (GL3520, GL3523) provides better performance.
GL852 vs GL850: GL852G is an improved version of GL850G with better compatibility - use GL852G for new designs.
