STULPI01 Transceiver
ULPI compliant, USB2.0 high speed transceiver with OTG functionality

STULPI01A Product Page
STULPI01B Product Page
STULPI01 is a stand-alone solution able to add a high speed USB connection in Application-Specific- Integrated-Circuits and System-on-Chips where fast data exchange rate, complexity and low power consumption are a main concern. The STULPI01 is a high speed (480 Mbps) USB 2.0 transceiver which is compliant with ULPI (UTMI+ Low Pin Interface) and OTG (On-The-Go) specifications, providing a complete physical layer solution for any high speed USB host, device or OTG dual role core. STULPI01 is optimized for low power consumption, and minimal die/package dimensions.

OTG Functionality: The Intelligent Solution


STULPI01 is compliant with OTG specifications providing point-to-point communication, supporting dual role features between portable devices such as mobile handsets, PDAs, digital still cameras, digital video cameras and MP3 players. This means information from a PC could be downloaded onto OTG equipment such as a PDA and then the PDA could be taken on the road and serve as the host to support printing or music downloading to another device.

DDR Or SDR Mode Supported


Unlike full- and low-speed USB systems which utilize serial interfaces, the high-speed STULPI01 solution requires a parallel interface between the controller and the PHY in order to run the bus at 480 Mbps. This leads to a corresponding increase in complexity and pin count. ULPI keeps this down to only 8 or 12 signals because it combines just three control signals, plus clock, with a 4 or 8-bit bi-directional data bus. The 4 and 8-bit modes are known as double (DDR) and single data rate (SDR) respectively.

ULPI Standard Minimizes Pin Count


ULPI stands for UTMI+ low pin interface and is designed specifically to reduce the pin count of discrete high-speed USB PHYs. Pin count reductions minimize the cost and footprint of the PHY chip on the PCB and reduce the number of pins dedicated to USBs for the link controller. As a result of these capabilities, ULPI is quickly becoming the new interface standard among system and chip designers.
