Overview

Embedded USB2 (eUSB2) is a new generation specification proposed by USB Association that extends USB 2.0 specification and uses 1.2V/1.0V as the interface operating voltage. For SoCs operating at 1.2V supply that are suitable for mobile phones, tablets, and laptops, using USB2 interfaces is a challenge as it becomes difficult to support 3.3V IO cells. eUSB2 eliminates the need for 3.3V IO signaling in small process technologies.

eUSB2 can support USB high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed operation, as well as the USB 2.0 L1/L2 link power management requirements. In addition, eUSB2 requires no change to the existing USB 2.0 software programming model. eUSB2 also uses the same two data line configurations, eD+ and eD- as USB2 D+ and D-. Vbus and power delivery are not impacted by eUSB2.

SuperSpeed USB 3.0: Ubiquitous Interconnect for Next Generation Consumer Applications

To address the bandwidth limitations of the USB 2.0 interface, the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) released the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 specifications in November 2008. The USB 3.0 specification provides a maximum bandwidth of up to 5Gbps while limiting power consumption. In this white paper we present the features of the USB 3.0 protocol, discuss the new usage models it enables and compare it with some of the existing interface standards popular in the market today.

eUSB2V2: Trends and Innovations Shaping the Future of Embedded Connectivity

In an era defined by rapid technological advancement, embedded interfaces must evolve to meet the demands of smaller form factors, lower power budgets, and diversified use cases. Among these interfaces, eUSB2V2 (Embedded USB 2.0 Version 2) has emerged not just as a legacy-support PHY, but as a strategic enabler of robust, low-power connectivity across next-generation systems-on-chip (SoCs).
