UPD720201 Block Diagram
Description
The µPD720201 is a USB host controller LSI compatible with the USB 3.0 and xHCI (eXtensible Host Controller Interface) 1.0 specifications. The system bus is compatible with the PCIe Gen2 specification. The controller provides four USB ports with LS (Low-Speed)/FS (Full-Speed)/HS (High-Speed)/SS (SuperSpeed) support.
The µPD720201 comes in a 68-pin QFN package and has the following improvements over previous products.
- Reduced power consumption in low-power mode to 4.5mW, a reduction of 90% compared with Renesas' existing products
- Improvements to the data transfer processing circuit provide an increase in the effective data write speed of more than 40% from existing products
- Firmware download function eliminates the need for an external serial flash ROM
