USB3.0 PHY on GF22FDX and Samsung 28nm FDSOI

Overview

The USB3.0 PHY IP is designed according to the USB 3.0, USB2.0 Specification. It supports the USB3.0 5Gbps Super-Speed mode and backward compatibles with the USB2.0 480Mbps High-Speed, 12Mbps Full-Speed, and 1.5Mbps Low-Speed modes. The USB 3.0 PHY interface complies with PHY Interface for PCI Express and USB3.0 Architectures specification (PIPE 3.0) and the USB2.0 PHY interface complies with the UTMI v1.05 specification.
 

Implemented on the GF22FDX and Samsung 28nm FDSOI process, the USB3.0 PHY IP provides a cost-effective, low-power solution for demanding applications.
