HSIC technology delivers low power consumption

Evatronix

High-Speed Inter-Chip (HSIC) compatible PHY IP

Evatronix has announced the introduction of a High-Speed Inter-Chip (HSIC) compatible PHY IP for power and area savings in USB 2.0 chip-to-chip connections.

Implementation of the HSIC technology enables setting up a direct connection on a PCB board between a USB Host chip and other on-board USB devices.

The HSIC standard has low power consumption thanks to the elimination of requirements to support long external USB cables while remaining USB protocol compliant and therefore USB-software compatible.

Being straightforward to use with all USB software gives HSIC an advantage over other inter-chip connection standards such as I2C.

Through the implementation of a 240MHz DDR interface the HSIC standard provides full support for the 480Mbps data transfer of the USB protocol.
