Overview

Arasan provides the xHCI (eXtensible Host Controller Interface) driver for the USB 3.0 Host stack that makes it possible to communicate with the USB 3.0 device through the xHC hardware. The driver conforms to the latest USB 3.0 and xHCI specifications; it allows existing and new developments to easily migrate to the USB 3.0 specification. It is designed to seamlessly integrate into any OS design for an easy and cost-effective solution. It is also possible to validate the xHCI driver without the xHC hardware by using the Test harnesses developed for application layer and hardware layer.

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).
