The USB 2.0 xPHY IP provides designers with a complete USB 2.0 OTG Physical Layer (PHY) IP solution, designed for low power mobile and consumer applications such as mobile internet devices, handheld game machines, feature rich smart phones, digital cameras and portable audio/video players. The USB 2.0 xPHY IP delivers approximately half the power and die area, compared to other solutions, for longer battery life and lower silicon cost. Designed for high yield, the IP implements architectural features make it less sensitive to variations in foundry process, device models, package and board parasitics. The USB2.0 xPHY integrates high speed and mixed-signal circuits to support High-Speed data transmission at 480Mbps and is backward compatible to Full-Speed (12Mbps) and Low-Speed (1.5Mbps) data rates. Electro Static Discharge (ESD) protection is included to give full support for host functionality, as well as a clock generation block with a PLL unit that ensures accurate Hi-Speed data transmission. When combined with Hi-Speed or On-The-Go (OTG) digital USB controllers, this IP delivers a complete, low power and small die-area on-chip physical transceiver solution for Hi-Speed and OTG enabled system-on-chip (SoC) designs.
