Overview

Siliconch SCAE10IP is a USB Type-C Power Delivery 3.0 compliant Authentication IP which is based on the latest USB Type-C Authentication specification revision 1.0. The SCAE10IP features hardware accelerated NIST compliant crypto blocks and is a fully functional standalone Authentication engine, and features a complete asymmetric (public/private) key based Elliptical Cryptographic Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) solution. Typical applications include USB-C cables, power adapters, hubs, smartphones, power banks and flash drives. This IP enables restriction on the usage of uncertified USB-C devices, accessories and cables protecting the host system. The SCAE10IP includes various defensive mechanisms to void any logical attacks such as power, timing and side-channel.

What Designers Need to Know About USB Low-Power States

In addition to performance and interoperability, achieving low power has been one of the requirements for industry standards specifications. Some of the key specifications like Universal Serial Bus (USB), PCI Express (PCIe), and MIPI have defined power saving features for burst traffic. This whitepaper explains how Synopsys USB IP offers low power using various low power states that go beyond the basic features.
