Elan Digital’s chip provides extra USB and UART host ports for mobile platforms

As the wireless communications market continues to expand and develop more and more sophisticated products, so the need to extend the capabilities of standard mobile device platforms increases. Because of its inherent versatility and flexibility, Elan Digital’s tried and tested VMB5000A bridge device is finding new applications in the mobile device market.

For example, in the China TDSCMA market where existing GSM/WCDMA products need to be updated with additional radio support, the VMB5000A can be directly connected to the processor system memory bus to provide 2 USB ports which can host additional radio devices.

The addition of WiMAX capability is another potentially imminent application as its market penetration accelerates.

It is also possible to configure the VMB5000A to provide 2 USB plus 1 UART port or 2 UART ports (1 high speed). The device also has on-board flash memory.
