T2M USB USB 4.0 Device Controller IP

USB 4.0 Device Controller IP

Description and Features

The USB 4.0 Device IP core is latest development that enables designers in the PC, mobile, consumer and communication markets to bring significant power and performance enhancements to the popular USB standard while offering backwards compatibility with billions of USB-enabled devices currently in the market. It is validated using FPGA prototype with industry standard PHYs.

Initial Versions :

  •  A single upstream USBv4 port with no downstream port
  •  One Enhanced SS Device (and/or possibly One Enhanced SS Hub)
  •  Supports 20G USB4 (Gen 2x2) and optionally 40G (Gen 3x2).

Subsequent Versions :

  •   Include Enhanced SS Hub
  •   Include PCIe and the DP Functions.
