ULPI Interface Specification Publicly Available for Standalone Hi-Speed USB Transceivers
The ULPI Working Group is made up of USB industry leaders, including Conexant, Mentor Graphics, Philips, SMSC and TransDimension Inc. The ULPI specification is royalty-free and the final version (revision 1.1) of the ULPI specification can be accessed on www.ulpi.org.
"More than 85 companies worldwide have adopted the ULPI specification, and we expect publication of the specification to greatly increase the adoption rate," said Batuhan Okur, chairman of the ULPI Working Group. "With ULPI, the standalone PHY pin count has been dramatically reduced from as many as 100 pins down to approximately 30 pins, greatly simplifying the design process and manufacturing requirements for Hi-Speed USB connectivity, which is a key feature on virtually every digital device, including computers, MP3 players and digital cameras of every variety."
Until today, the ULPI specification has only been made available to third-party companies that signed the ULPI Adopters Agreement. With the public release of the ULPI specification, engineers are now able to obtain and review the ULPI specification without any restrictions. The companies that subsequently utilize the ULPI interface in their ASICs, SoCs or FPGAs will have the option to sign the Adopters Agreement to obtain the royalty-free ULPI license.
