Evatronix And Soft-Mixed Signal Announce USB 2.0 Total Solution
Update: Cadence Completes Acquisition of Evatronix IP Business (Jun 13, 2013)
Bielsko-Biala/Poland & Santa Clara/USA --- July 23rd, 2009 - The silicon Intellectual Property (IP) providers, Evatronix SA and Soft Mixed Signal Corporation announced today the availability of the complete USB 2.0 solution that integrates USB 2.0 Controller IP from Evatronix and the USB 2.0 PHY IP from Soft Mixed Signal. Both companies have extensive experience in USB 2.0 designs and therefore the product, although new to the market, is fully mature in terms of its components.Engineers at Evatronix and SMS put an extra effort to introduce a set of features that would make the joint solution consume as little power as possible.
The USB Controller IP implements configurable amount of memory for each endpoint, which could also be turned off for even less power usage, while a common buffer for OUT (Host IN) type endpoints saves power by taking less silicon area. Other configurable features include a programmable number of endpoints and the system bus width and type.
The USB PHY component is proven to be the smallest USB 2.0 PHY on the market and features a patent-pending multi-port implementation and clock distribution scheme to provide a very robust, low power and very small area multi-port solution for HDTV, set-top boxes and a variety of embedded systems. Furthermore, a proprietary power control scheme delivers extra power savings during full transceiver operation.
“Driven by a success of Device, Hub and On-The-Go Dual-Role Device controllers IP, we now want to give our customers a joint solution for straightforward implementation of the USB 2.0 interface in their SoCs,” said Dariusz Kaczmarczyk, USB Product Line Manager. “With Soft Mixed Signal, we are offering the market maturity of two independent and highly competitive products joined together as one, easily integrable solution.”
“Our Partnership with Evatronix enhances the options in the marketplace with a technology leading total solution, including full suite of software and firmware set to most optimal PHY offering in terms of area, power and proprietary features.” aid Omer Kal, President and CEO of Soft Mixed Signal Corporation.
Availability
The USB 2.0 Total Solution IP is available now from both Soft Mixed Signal and Evatronix, however, separate licenses are given for each of components.
