Intersil's USB 2.0 Multiplexer Reduces Connectors and Improves Cradle Functionality
MILPITAS, CA, May 8, 2007 – Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select: ISIL)
today introduces the
ISL54200 USB 2.0 high/full speed multiplexer. With a wider
supply voltage range, higher bandwidth and better insertion loss characteristics
than the competition, this device provides the most flexible high performance
solution for interfacing USB and non-USB portable devices.
The flexibility of the
ISL54200 comes from its ability to switch between data
sources having different data speeds and signal levels, and to output them
through a common connector. When used inside a portable device such as cellphone
it alternately allows chips with high-speed (480Mbps) USB circuitry and chips
with lower speed UART or Full Speed (12Mbps) USB to communicate through a single
connector. This allows access to slower parts of the cellphone product over a
common interface. In automotive applications where portable products are often
placed in a cradle, a common cradle connector can serve multiple portable
products with differing data signaling interface requirements while retaining a
common USB cable connection to the automobile electronics. And, when used in a
laptop docking station it allows a single USB Host connection to provide two
data ports serving external devices having High Speed or Full Speed USB
signaling capability.
Beyond flexibility, the
ISL54200 also provides unmatched performance. The 800MHz
of bandwidth and superior RON flatness delivers a wider eye opening for improved
signal transmission. The industry-leading 80nanoAmps of quiescent supply current
significantly lowers the battery drain, while the 2.7V to 5.5V supply voltage
range allows a wider range of rail-to-rail signaling protocols while eliminating
the need for an additional LDO power source.
Applications that will benefit from Intersil’s advanced technology include MP3
and personal media players, cell phones, PDAs, laptop and Digital Camera docking
stations and cradle devices for cellphone, MP3 player and portable automotive or
marine GPS devices.
