USB 2.0 Full/Low-Speed Device Core

Overview

Key Features

• Fully compliant to USB Specification 2.0 and the On-The-Go Supplement, Revision 1.0
• Full-Speed device capability (12Mbps)
• Supports Session Request Protocol (SRP) defined in the On-The-Go supplement
• Scalable number of pipes (max. 31 pipes)
• Supports all transfer types (Control, Interrupt, Isochronous, Bulk)
• Pipe direction, transfer type and fifo size can be configured during run-time
• Supports enhanced large buffer management
• Automatic retry for corrupted data packets
• Configurable for 16 or 32 bit data interface (64 bit in preparation)
• AMBA AHB ready (AHB slave interface for configuration, AHB master DMA interface with Single-Port RAM for payload data)
• AMBA AHB interface testet with Synopsys Amba Verification Suite
• PCI ready
• Dual-Port RAM interface available with scalable memory size
• Suspend/Resume/Remote Wakeup support
• Technology independent RTL implementation
• PCI evaluation module available
• Generic USB Device Software Stack with several class drivers available
• With the features described above, the FHG USB DEV brings an USB interface to your system, which is highly efficient from software’s point of view:
• All USB related timing critical features are realized in hardware. Therefore, for normal operation software has only to manage the enumeration process
• Once a pipe or channel is established, the only task of the software is to provide data buffers (entire USB protocol is managed by hardware, including data toggle, retry, polling of periodic pipes) This reduces the number and frequency of software interrupts to an minimum.
• The required interrupt latency time does not depend on the timing required by the USB packet level, but on the size of data buffers and pipe bandwidth.

Benefits

• Typical USB devices working with the USB Device Controller are for example hard disk devices, multimedia devices, high speed network or industrial applications.
