Complete, USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Subsystem in a Structured ASIC

ChipX, leader in structured ASICs, has announced with high-quality IP products specialists CAST, a new portfolio of compliance-tested USB controller IP solutions for its Structured ASIC products. The silicon-proven IP can be used with ChipX's recently introduced CX6200 family, which features a built-in PHY for USB 2.0 Hi- Speed On-The-Go (OTG) applications. The controller IP cores also inter-operate with the USB 2.0 Full-Speed multi-port transceivers included in ChipX’ CX5000 and CX4000 products.

Now ChipX customers can build a complete USB subsystem using CAST cores, software and, where required, add a processor such as a fast 80515 or 68000 derivative. CAST USB controllers and ChipX USB 2.0 PHY have been proven to be inter-operable, and the components have achieved USB-IF compliance certification.

Commonly, building a USB subsystem is inherently time-consuming, and research has shown that most Standard Cell ASIC designs fail standards compliance and require the chip to be re-designed. However, with the combined ChipX and CAST solution, customers are provided with a complete, pre-approved USB 2.0 subsystem with full technical support

ChipX is recognised as offering one of the best platforms for the low-risk, quick production of complex systems. CAST’s proven IP cores and years of experience in assisting successful ASIC and FPGA design, combined with ChipX's outstanding products, extends one of the very best available solutions to the customer.
