USB 2.0 Transceiver Macrocell Interface (UTMI) PHY

Logo 

Overview
Synopsys' DesignWare® USB 2 PHY is a complete mixed-signal semiconductor intellectual property (IP) solution, designed for single-chip, USB 2.0 integration in both Device and Host applications. The USB 2 PHY includes all the required logical, geometric and physical design files to implement USB 2.0 capability in a System-on-Chip (SOC) design and fabricate the design in the designated foundry. The USB 2 PHY is available today in 90 nm, 130 nm and 180 nm CMOS digital logic processes. Alternatively, design services are available for porting the USB 2 PHY to other semiconductor processes.

The USB 2 PHY integrates high-speed, mixed-signal, custom CMOS circuitry compliant with the UTMI Specification (version 1.04). The PHY supports the USB 2.0 480-Mbps protocol and data rate (high-speed), and is backward compatible to the USB 1.1 legacy protocol at 1.5-Mbps (low-speed) and 12-Mbps (full-speed).

The PHY's flexible architecture can be easily adapted for implementation of USB 2.0-compliant Host and Device. The 40X acceleration in data rate offered by USB 2.0 improves the performance of many applications, including desktop video cameras, portable storage, external CD-R/W, optical scanners, inkjet and laser printers, TV tuners, and audio speakers.
