Elan Digital releases USB-to-SDIO Host Bridge Chip

A unique and important user benefit of the VUB300 is its universal support for any SDIO device, allowing it to run with any manufacturer's existing driver & application software without the need for any modification.

Key features of the device include low power, small package size (6 x 6mm QFN) and high data throughput.

This new device is primarily aimed at smartphone and portable internet devices as well as standard notebook computers.

A growing number of wireless modem chipsets are moving to SDIO as the preferred data interface and the VUB300 is the ideal solution when, for example the target system has no spare SDIO ports available.
