TUSB1310 Superspeed USB (USB 3.0) transceiver
Texas Instruments has introduced the TUSB1310 Superspeed USB (USB 3.0) transceiver, which supports applications including surveillance cameras, smartphones, portable media players and more.
The TUSB1310's Pipe3 and ULPI interfaces enable USB 3.0 functionality when used in conjunction with the integrated application processor digital cores.
The 5Gbps USB 3.0 physical layer transceiver operates from a single crystal or external reference clock with selectable frequencies from 20, 25, 30 and 40MHz.
This allows the TUSB1310 to provide a cost-effective USB 3.0 solution with few external components and minimum implementation cost, according to Texas Instruments.
The TUSB1310 supports many applications, including surveillance cameras, multimedia handsets, smartphones, digital still cameras, portable media players, personal navigation devices, audio docks, video IP phones, wireless IP phones and software-defined radios.
Texas Instruments offers an expansive portfolio of Superspeed USB devices.
Devices include: the SN65LVPE502, a dual-channel USB 3.0 re-driver/equaliser; the TPD2EUSB30, a two-channel ESD solution for Superspeed USB 3.0 interface; and the TPS25xx series of USB power switches.
Future offerings include peripherals, bridges, hubs and hosts.
Receiver sensitivity of less than 50mV differential peak-to-peak for detecting weak signals is said to be twice as good as the specification requirement, allowing use of longer cables and easing board layout challenges.
Flexible, integrated spread-spectrum clocking can reduce bill of materials cost by five per cent or more.
Industry standard link layer interfaces (Pipe3 for USB 3.0 and ULPI for USB 2.0 compatibility) enable easy system integration to a variety of attached digital cores.
