eUSB2V2 Controller
Proven solution featuring host and peripheral
Overview
Proven solution featuring host and peripheral
eUSB2V2 scales up to 4.8Gbps of data rate with the flexibility to configure asymmetrical or symmetrical links to build an efficient system, depending on the intended application. In asymmetrical link mode, one direction can achieve speeds of up to 4.8Gbps, while the reverse can operate at a lower rate of 480Mbps. This flexibility allows for simpler designs, optimized power consumption, and reduced EMI noise. Symmetrical links can be configured to run at speeds between 960Mbps and 4.8Gbps.
Key features
- Meet low voltage requirement (1.0V – 1.2V)
- Up to 4.8Gbps scalable data rate
- Leverages existing USBSSP2 IP
- Burst transactions improvement for Isochronous Endpoints
- New MaxPacketSize for Bulk Endpoint (1024 bytes)
- Support for Legacy Protocol (HS Native Mode) operation
- Design flexibility with both asymmetrical and symmetrical links
- Configurable number of eUSB2V2 Ports
- No change in existing USB2/USB3 Port

Securing the Most Important Goal of USB Type-C Technology: A Better User Experience
Now that the USB Type-C™ Cable and Connector Specification is starting to reach the masses, the world of advanced technology and hundred-pages-thick specifications finally meets the world of casual users. The initial impression is that while device owners appreciate the new features and ease of use, they are more puzzled than before with incompatibility of devices, dangerously bad cables, and the need for adapters for their old devices. What do we, as an industry, need to do to overcome these fears and secure a path to USB Type-C success?
