With a 16-bit SRAM-like memory mapped interface and a flexible I/O voltage range of 1.65V to 3.6V, the controller provides seamless interface to all the most popular embedded microprocessors and DSPs. 8Kbytes of on-chip SRAM are included and a DMA slave channel helps lower system CPU utilization and ensure high data throughput.
Needing just a single 3.3V supply, the low power OXU200 is ideal for mobile applications requiring a combination of low power consumption and high performance. The controller features an ultra low power sleep mode and a power preserving suspend state to help extend system battery life.
To reflect the board space constraints faced by portable system designers, Oxford is offering the OXU200 in a choice of space saving packages: a 12mm x 12mm 100-pin LQFP and a 6mm x 6mm 64-ball BGA package. Both chip packages are RoHS compliant and support an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
The OXU200 is supported with USB device drivers and the Oxford Semiconductor USBLink™ software suite. Low-level controller drivers for other native USB peripheral stacks are also available, such as those included with Windows® CE and Linux® 2.6.X.
In 10K volumes, the OXU200 high-speed USB peripheral controller is priced at $3.45 in the LQFP package and $3.85 in the BGA package. Production begins in Q1’07.
