Cypress Semiconductor Corp. has announced the launch of its first USB 3.0 controller, the EZ-USB FX3, targeted for video and imaging, printing, scanning, and various applications with higher throughput than USB 2.0. The new EZ-USB FX3 (CYUSB3014) device is a flexible peripheral controller with a universal programmable interface (GPIF II) that enables 5-Gbps USB 3.0 data transfer capability, a fully configurable ARM9 processor core, And backward compatible with USB2.0. The internal bus architecture of EZ-USB FX3 can achieve 4 times the working speed of USB3.0, which is an ideal choice for applications that need to transfer large amounts of data quickly. For example, it enables high-resolution video and video streaming in imaging applications without the need for compression on the peripheral side.
Cypress is the market leader in USB controllers and has shipped over one billion devices since 1996. Cypress USB products, including the new USB 3.0 controller, enable design flexibility, USB compatibility, and full product support including software tools, development tools, and reference designs. Because its ARM9 core is fully available as a stand-alone microcontroller, the new USB 3.0 controller allows designers to quickly and easily customize solutions for their end markets.
USB is widely adopted in consumer electronics, PC peripherals, and portable devices, and its assembly volume has reached billions. It is the most successful peripheral connection standard. USB3.0 is the next-generation standard in the wired USB market, providing users with the same ease of use and flexibility they are looking for, while the data rate is dramatically increased to 5Gbps. Compared with USB2.0, USB3.0 can also provide better power management (equivalent to 20% of USB2.0) and faster battery charging capability (half the charging time). As with the FX2 controller in the USB 2.0 space, Cypress's new FX3 controller will enable USB 3.0 to be used on a wider variety of platforms.
Dinesh Ramanathan, vice president of Cypress's data communications business unit, said: "Cypress's low-speed, full-speed and high-speed solutions have been leading the USB trend, and USB 3.0 will continue this leading edge. Our products have The diversity of flexibility, quality and variety has laid a foundation for our success in the USB field. Our USB 3.0 solution was also developed based on the same philosophy, and we are working with customers to promote the end product market for consumers to enjoy Bandwidth advantage to USB3.0. EZ-USB FX3 is the first product in the Cypress USB 3.0 program."
In 1996, Cypress entered the USB market with its determination to "make USB ubiquitous." Since then, it has become a leading supplier of USB devices and its products are used in many fields. Cypress's well-known product lines include enCoRe, EZ-USB USB controllers, West Bridge peripheral controllers, and WirelessUSB 2.4-GHz RF devices.
