Renesas’ energy-efficient USB devices enable designers of today’s Smart Society products to create powerefficient products that maximize battery life and help to preserve our world’s valuable energy resources. Excellent Design Solutions for USB 3.0 and Legacy 2.0 Applications USB 3.0 (SuperSpeedTM) achieves data transfer speeds that are up to 10 times faster than the previous version of the standard, enabling rapid and efficient transfers of data to and from external storage and multimedia devices. USB is the most successful interface in the history of PCs with an installed base of 10+ billion units and growing at 3+ billion units per year. This success was brought about by the ease-of-use, interoperability and quality of USB-IF-certified devices. USB has always been an interface that makes adding peripherals to a PC as simple as hooking up a telephone to a wall-jack. Renesas played a key role in establishing the USB 3.0 ecosystem. For example, we have: Offering a Complete Line of USB Hardware/Software Solutions for USB Applications This Quick Guide provides an overview of the latest Renesas USB Host controllers, Hub controllers and USB-to-SATA bridge controllers, as well as associated software and support products such as USAP, hub and xHCI software. Although products for applying USB 3.0 technology are emphasized, devices for USB 2.0 implementations are also covered. > Contributed to the USB 3.0 first draft and final specification > Collaborated in developing and building the compliance test environment > Provided the PCB for the USB-IF‘s Peripheral Development Kit (PDK) > Enabled the building of the USB 3.0 ecosystem by providing the world’s first IC implementation solutions! > Facilitated designs that achieve more of USB 3.0’s SuperSpeed™ potential by offering USAP, hub and xHCI software Leading the Way Forward Renesas has led the industry by introducing the world’s first USB 3.0 host controller in May 2009, and the company’s lineup of USB 3.0 host controllers has been broadly adopted by customers worldwide, with total shipments already exceeding 60 million units.
