The Universal Serial Bus (USB) has truly become universal over the past two decades. Although best known as the technology that enables peripherals to connect to personal computers, USB functionality has expanded to enable power delivery of up to 100W of power to both hosts and devices, offer data rates to 10 Gbps and create on-board connections in embedded systems via the USB Hi-Speed Interchip Communication (HSIC) interface.
If your design requires a USB solution, our comprehensive portfolio of stand-alone products includes hubs, USB Type-C® Power Delivery (PD) controllers, bridges with Ethernet and media card support, switches and transceivers, graphics controllers and port power controllers. We also offer a variety of microcontrollers (MCUs) and Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) with integrated USB to help you create more engaging and easy-to-use products.
If you are new to developing products with a USB interface, here is a brief summary of some of the main concepts and terms you will encounter in our online information and documentation.
