Overview
USB is the ubiquitous interconnect standard of choice for a wide range of computing and consumer applications. Innosilicon provides a comprehensive set of software drivers to support commonly used USB peripherals. In addition, our established USB ecosystem—comprising USB silicon suppliers, design IP houses, and verification and testing vendors—helps reduce development and production costs for USB host and peripheral manufacturers.
The USB 2.0 IP is capable of handling the low-level protocol and signaling. In transmitting mode, the PHY serializes data, performs bit stuffing following NRZI encoding when needed, and then generates SYNC and EOP fields. Likewise, in receiving mode, it recovers clock from incoming data, strips the SYNC and EOP fields, performs NRZI decoding with bit un-stuffing when needed and then de-serializes the data. It supports 17 modes of operations, including LS, FS, HS, On-The-Go, Device , Host and HSIC.
The eUSB 2.0 IP supports both native and repeater mode. In the native mode, it is intended for board-level chip-to-chip communication. In the repeater mode, it supports standard USB 2.0 communication through a separate eUSB 2.0 repeater component.

Innosilicon, a leading IP provider, offers a complete PCIe 5.0 solution stack that includes both PHY and controller IPs. Although both layers are crucial to achieving a fully compliant and high-performance PCIe interface, this paper deep dives into the technical challenges of PHY design, highlighting insights drawn from real-world design margins, receiver robustness, and advanced jitter analysis in the context of Gen5 systems.
In recent years, emerging industries such as AI, Internet of Things, 5G, and intelligent networked vehicles have flourished, and the high requirements for performance have greatly increased the scale and complexity of chips, constantly challenging IP limitations.
UniversalFlash Storage (UFS) was created for mobile applications and computer systems requiring high performance and low power consumption. These systems typically use embedded Flash based on the JEDEC standard eMMC. UFS was defined by JEDEC as the evolutionary replacement for eMMC offering significantly higher memory bandwidth. The standard builds on existing standards such as the SCSI command set, the MIPI Alliance M-PHY and UniPro as well as eMMC form factors to simplify adoption and development.
In this paper, we introduce a new high-level, dataflow programming language called C~ (“C flow”) that further increases productivity by raising the level of abstraction from behavioral descriptions, while overcoming the limitations of C for hardware design. We present the syntax and semantics of this language, and the framework that provides hardware and software code generation. This paper illustrates the benefits of using C~ for hardware design of a IEEE 802.3 MAC, synthesized for FPGA and for 90nm CMOS technology.

Since MIPI and MDDI standards both target interfaces to cameras and displays on mobile devices, are two separate standards really needed?
