The USB 2.0 HSIC PHY IP is a cost effective and lower power replacement for a standard USB 2.0 PHY in applications where USB is being used on a single printed circuit board. It is becoming increasingly attractive to use USB as a high speed chip-to-chip interconnect within a product where low cost and low power are required. However, because USB was designed to enable hot-plugging of peripherals over cables up to 5 meters in length, certain power and implementation features are not required for chip-to-chip interconnect solutions. To better meet the needs of a USB chip-to-chip interconnect, HSIC accomplishes this by removing the analog transceivers, thus reducing complexity, cost and manufacturing risk.
