Single chip ready for USB On-The-Go

New from Philips Semiconductors, the ISP1362 is a USB On-The-Go (OTG) chip that is fully compliant with the USB Implementers Forum's (IF) OTG Supplement to the USB 2.0 Specification.

New from Philips Semiconductors, the ISP1362 is a USB On-The-Go (OTG) chip that is fully compliant with the USB Implementers Forum's (IF) OTG Supplement to the USB 2.0 Specification.

This new USB OTG chip permits mobile devices to communicate at times when there is no personal computer available to act as a go-between for data exchange.

As the first in a series of Philips Semiconductors' USB OTG products, the ISP1362 offers a powerful USB architecture, based on years of USB experience.

The ISP1362 is an OTG compliant USB 2.0 host and peripheral controller.

These capabilities allow the chip to act as USB host, USB peripheral, or both functions simultaneously.

The host and peripheral roles can be interchanged through the Host Negotiation Protocol (HNP).

The HNP feature, which allows the host function to be transferred between two devices, eliminates the need to switch cables.

Using this feature, manufacturers of dual-role devices can determine which peripherals its device will support.

Philips Semiconductors developed the industry's first USB OTG prototype, which in turn was used to qualify the USB OTG supplement leading to the supplement's public release in September 2001.

The ISP1362 single-chip IC will sample in February 2002 with volume production scheduled for the second quarter of 2002.

The ISP1362 will be available in the LQFP64 package.
