Overview

The vendor provides designers with silicon-proven, configurable USB 3.0 Controllers that are compliant with the USB-Implementers Forum (USB-IF) USB 3.0 specification. The USB 3.0 controllers provide the lowest possible gate count, efficient power management optimized with dual power rails, and USB 3.0 PIPE and USB 2.0 UTMI/UTMI+ interfaces for PHYs. This comprehensive solution also includes support for Dual Role Device (DRD), xHCI Host, and Device Controllers and SuperSpeed InterChip (SSIC), High Speed InterChip (HSIC), and OTG 2.0 features.

The USB 3.0 Controller IP offers the flexibility required for high-volume, fast turnaround consumer applications. Configuration options maximize SoC design performance and minimize CPU interrupts, while flexible parameters enable easy integration into low- and high-latency systems.

The USB Controller IP has shipped in over one billion units for leading electronics companies worldwide. Using the USB IP significantly reduces development time and engineering risk, bringing USB-based SoCs to market faster.

The USB IP is the most certified IP solution in the industry. With over 3,000 design wins, the vendor's complete USB IP solution--consisting of controllers, PHYs, verification IP, drivers, and IP prototypes--enables designers to lower integration risk and speed time-to-market.

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.

USB 3.2: A USB Type-C Challenge for SoC Designers

This white paper outlines applications that benefit from USB 3.2’s increased bandwidth, describes the USB 3.2 specification for USB Type-C™, and explains how the specification affects speed using USB Type-C connectors and cables.
