USB controllers meet Implementers Forum standards
The OXU121HP and OXU200 high-speed USB controllers have been compliance certified by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF).
FireWire to IDE bridge chip supports RAID
Firmware enhancements to the popular OXFW911 FireWire to IDE bridge chip enable the development of simple, low cost RAID storage products for personal and small business application.
Integrated solution for high-speed data streaming
Combining an 800Mbit/s 1394B link layer and PHY controller with a 480Mbit/s USB2.0 PHY, the OXUF922 programmable bridge chip provides a fully integrated solution for high-speed data streaming.
With a 16-bit SRAM-like memory mapped interface and a flexible I/O voltage range of 1.65V to 3.6V, the controller provides seamless interface to all the most popular embedded microprocessors and DSPs.
8Kbytes of on-chip SRAM are included and a DMA slave channel helps lower system CPU utilisation and ensure high data throughput.
Needing just a single 3.3V supply, the low power OXU200 is ideal for mobile applications requiring a combination of low power consumption and high performance.
The controller features an ultra low power sleep mode and a power preserving suspend state to help extend system battery life.
To reflect the board space constraints faced by portable system designers, Oxford is offering the OXU200 in a choice of space saving packages: a 12mm x 12mm 100-pin LQFP and a 6mm x 6mm 64-ball BGA package.
Both chip packages are RoHS compliant and support an operating temperature range of -40C to 85C.
The OXU200 is supported with USB device drivers and the Oxford Semiconductor USBLink software suite.
Low-level controller drivers for other native USB peripheral stacks are also available, such as those included with Windows CE and Linux 2.6.X.
In 10K volumes, the OXU200 high-speed USB peripheral controller is priced at USD3.45 in the LQFP package and USD3.85 in the BGA package.
Production begins in Q1 2007.
