TI introduces flexible, high-speed USB 2.0 On-The-Go solution

Texas Instruments has introduced a high-speed Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 On-The-Go (OTG) dual-role controller that provides flexible architecture to meet a multitude of customer-defined applications. It can operate either as a function controller for a USB peripheral or as the host/peripheral in point-to-point or multipoint communications. This low-power device’s idle mode operating at less than 100uA will extend battery life in consumer devices, such as mobile handsets, portable media players or video applications.

The TUSB6020 is a compact solution for space-conscious equipment and comes in the industry’s smallest 5 mm x 5 mm package. It is certified to be compliant with the USB 2.0 OTG specification by the USB Implementer’s Forum to help ensure interoperability with other USB devices. Its integrated USB 2.0 PHY provides design flexibility with one-port operation at a low speed of 1.5 Mbps, full speed of 12 Mbps and high speed of 480 Mbps. The VLYNQ™ serial interface allows seamless interface to any VLYNQ-enabled application processor without loading the GPMC or EMIF ports.

The TUSB6020 will add high-speed USB capability to any TMS320DM643x DaVinci technology-based product. Other USB devices from TI support PC and consumer electronics applications. Please see the Interface Selection Guide for more information.
