The USB 2.0 PHY Core from Soft Mixed Signal is engineered to meet the modern demands of USB connectivity by offering full compliance with the latest USB 2.0 specifications. This core delivers a complete transceiver solution with support for high-speed modes while incorporating On-The-Go (OTG) capabilities, which allows devices to operate independently in a manner of host or peripheral, enhancing interaction versatility.
Important design features include clock recovery from high data rates of 480 Mbps, operated through a high-frequency PLL. Advanced transmitter and receiver capabilities support both high-speed and full-speed modes, maintaining robust signal integrity under various operational conditions. The implementation of UTMI and/or UTMI+ interfaces allows for efficient data transfer across differing bus widths, accommodating both 8-bit and 16-bit architectures.
For added functionality, the solution is equipped with calibrated switchable resistors for differential signaling, alongside optional charge pumps and VBus functionalities for OTG applications. This enhances flexibility in supporting diverse hardware platforms such as PC peripherals, mobile devices, and more, thus reducing integration time and risk for system developers striving to meet stringent market requirements.
