Structured ASICs pass the USB test

The CX6200 family of structured ASIC products has passed the stringent USB Implementers Forum compliance test, and is placed on the USB-IF Integrators list.

The CX6200 family of structured ASIC products has passed the stringent USB Implementers Forum compliance test, and is placed on the USB-IF Integrators list.

ChipX offers a complete structured ASIC USB solution, consisting of built-in, silicon proven and USBIF compliant USB 2.0, High Speed On-the-Go PHY, and Evatronix SA USB controller IP.

Customer can use the built-in USB PHY in Host, Device or On-the-Go mode, and implement the controller and any other logic in the efficient X-Cells, memory and configurable IO.

The ChipX USB PHY is available to designers on an industry standard transceiver and macrocell tester (T and MT) board, for testing with FPGA prototypes.

"With USB-IF USB 2.0 High Speed OTG compliance certification for CX6200 products, our customers benefit more than ever before from the unique integration benefit that ChipX offers to ASIC designers", said Wouter Suverkropp, Director of Marketing at ChipX.

"Designers can prototype with FPGA using our T and MT board, and then migrate their entire design to an efficient volume production Structured ASIC with built-in USB PHY, without having to reverify the interface between controller and PHY.

This increases design speed and removes a lot of integration effort and risk".

"If volume really takes off, we can even convert the whole design into Standard Cell, again without the need to reverify".

The CX6200 family of USB enabled Structured ASIC products offers from 140,000 to 1,820,000 usable ASIC equivalent logic gates, up to 1800Kbit of memory, and up to 350 fully configurable I/Os.

Products are available today with prices starting under $5 in volume.

The Evatronix SA USB controller IP is available from Cast.
