Sunnyvale, Calif., -- September 8, 2003 --
Innovative Semiconductors, Inc. (Innovative) announced today the availability
of its Full Speed USB Transceiver OTG Physical Layer Hard Macro. The SL88 USB
Core is compliant with the USB 2.0 Specification and has been verified in
.18-micron Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) Digital CMOS
process. The design can be easily mapped into different process technologies.
The SL88 supports 12Mbits/s “full speed” and 1.5Mbits/s “low speed” operation,
Power down mode and data line VBUS pulsing session requests. Besides the
Full/Low speed transceiver, the SL88 implements the VBUS comparators, the ID
detector and the pull–up/pull–down resistors.
Innovative’s USB transceivers product line support
Device, Host and OTG applications for High/Full/Low Speed. It has been ported
to several process technologies including TSMC 0.13-micron, TSMC 0.18-micron,
TSMC 0.25-micron and LSI Logic 0.18 micron. LSI Logic, Motorola and National
Semiconductors are among Innovative’s USB 2.0 silicon licensees. Innovative
Cores were proven in silicon and certified for USB 2.0 Compliance.
Analog and mixed-signal content in System-On-Chip
(SOC) designs is quickly rising. It is expected that the majority of IC
designs will have mixed-signal content in a few years. To address that market,
Innovative has developed several mixed-signal blocks including USB PHY,
IEEE-1394 PHY, Phase Lock Loop (PLL), and Clock and Data Recovery (CDR). Its
library of Analog Macrocells includes DAC, Voltage Converters, and Band Gap
Reference voltage among others. All of the Macrocells have been verified in
silicon.
Innovative has achieved several high profile
design wins for its High Speed Serial Interface Technology such as eSilicon,
Honeywell, Infineon Technology, Jet Propulsion Labs, LSI Logic, Oki
Semiconductor, Mentor Graphics, Mitel, National Semiconductor, Motorola and
Samsung among others.
