USB 2.0 On-The-Go (OTG) PHY IP

Logo 

Overview
The Synopsys DesignWare® Hi-Speed USB 2.0 On-The-Go (HS OTG) PHY is a complete mixed-signal semiconductor intellectual property (IP) solution, designed for single-chip, USB 2.0 integration in OTG applications. The USB 2.0 OTG PHY includes all the required logical, geometric, and physical design files to implement USB 2.0 Hi-Speed OTG capability in a system-on-chip (SoC) design and to manufacture it in the designated foundry. The USB 2.0 OTG PHY is available in 90-nanometer (nm), 0.13-micron, and 0.18-micron CMOS digital logic processes. Alternatively, design services are available for porting the USB 2.0 OTG PHY to other semiconductor processes.

DesignWare Hi-Speed USB 2.0 OTG PHY and Controller IP Shortens Project by up to Six Months

The DesignWare Hi-Speed USB 2.0 OTG PHY integrates high-speed, mixed-signal, custom CMOS circuitry designed to the UTMI+ Level 3 Specification. The PHY supports the USB 2.0 480-Mbps protocol and data rate (hi-speed), and is backward compatible to the USB 1.1 legacy protocol at 1.5-Mbps (low-speed) and 12-Mbps (full-speed).

The flexible architecture of the PHY enables it to be connected with a HS OTG subsystem to perform as a standard Hi-Speed, Dual-Role Device (DRD), operating as either a fully USB 2.0 Hi-Speed compliant peripheral or an OTG host. For example, when the USB 2.0 OTG PHY is implemented in a USB printer, the printer can print from a PC, or the printer can act as the host, extracting and printing pictures directly from the memory of a digital camera without the aid of a PC. Additional applications include PDAs, mobile phones, MP3 players, set-top boxes, scanners, and fax machines.
