Product Brief January 30, 2002 UHC124 High Performance Four-Port Embedded USB Host Controller Description TransDimension’s UHC124 is a four-port, single chip USB Host controller that is the first of a family of integrated low-cost, high-performance controllers optimized and specifically designed for embedded systems, mobile communication, and consumer products. It is a non-PCI controller that supports USB Specification Rev. 2.0 compliant full-speed (12Mb/s) and low-speed (1.5Mb/s) USB devices. It is the only non-PCI controller that has been proven to run at USB full speed, even running under a full USB stack. The UHC124 controller enables an embedded system to function as a USB Host, dramatically expanding the degree of interconnectivity and extending the applicability of USB into many new areas. In addition to silicon, development kits, USB Host Stack, device drivers for most products, and interface code to the UHC124 for numerous RTOS’ are available via our wholly owned subsidiary, SoftConnex Technologies, Inc. The UHC124 has unique, patent-pending features that are indispensable for achieving high data throughput and low interrupt rates. It is the only one on the market that is designed from the ground up for embedded applications with features like batch processing, multiple interrupt modes, separate data and descriptor memory, and double buffering. It is optimized for cost, performance and ease of development. The software/hardware co-designed architecture enables high performance while maintaining simplicity and flexibility that are critical for embedded applications. It can be interfaced to CISC or RISC microprocessors, microcontrollers, or digital signal processors (DSPs) and is ideal for providing USB host functions to a wide range of applications including mobile devices, cell phones, PDAs, point-of-sale systems, test equipment, set-top boxes, Internet appliances, as well as serving as an interface for USB to Bluetooth controllers. The complete solutions offer the advantages of shortened time-to-market, simplified procurement and technical support from one source.

When the UHC124 operates under this mode, its internal memory blocks, as well as its control/status registers, are mapped into the processor’s address space. • For MCUs without an external data bus, the UHC124 may be interfaced using an 8-bit output port and an 8-bit bi-directional port. Under this mode, a built-in, auto incrementing address register allows accessing to a large block of the UHC124 memory with a single (address) write cycle, followed by as many read/write cycles as the number of data bytes to be transferred from/to the UHC124. Control Memory (CM): The UHC124 controller memory holds up to 16 Transaction Descriptors (XDs) used to specify up to 16 USB transactions. Data Memory (DM): The 2,048 bytes of data memory (DM) built into the UHC124 serve as data buffers shared between the MCU and USB system. Batch Processing: The user software may organize up to 16 USB transactions into a transaction batch, or simply a batch. A batch may contain transactions for full-speed (FS: 12 Mbit/sec) and low-speed (LS: 1.5 Mbit/sec) USB devices, of four types of endpoints (control, bulk, interrupt and isochronous) and all transaction types (SETUP, IN and OUT). Compared with other USB host controller designs, batch processing is a very important and unique feature of the UHC124. Our software/hardware co-design overcomes the serious shortcomings of other embedded USB host controller designs that require an interrupt upon completion of every USB transaction. These defficient designs: • result in significant loss of USB bus bandwidth as the invocation (interrupt latency time) and execution of the interrupt service routine (ISR), (or of certain portion of the ISR at the minimum,) cannot overlap with USB bus TransDimension Inc. — Proprietary 2 Product Brief TransDimension UHC124 activity. This problem is more obvious and damaging when data packet sizes are small and spontaneous, which is typical for many embedded USB host applications, making double buffering impractical. • waste MCU’s time due to processor/RTOS overhead with frequent ISR invocation and execution. With its batch processing capability, a single register write to the UHC124 can dispatch altogether up to 16 transactions, and a single interrupt is generated only after the completion of all of them. The system throughput is therefore significantly improved maximizing the bandwidth on the USB. At the same time, the number of interrupts to the MCU is greatly reduced, saving processor resources for non-USB activities. Double Buffering: Double buffering, and its more general form circular buffering, are effective ways to improve the USB system throughput. The UHC124 supports dual port memory access to its entire addressing space (control registers, CM and DM). Together with its batch processing capability, double buffering becomes attractive even for transactions with small data packets. Root Hub: The UHC124 employs a fully qualified, market proven 4-port USB hub. Analog USB transceivers are built-in for all four downstream ports. Power-on and over-current circuits are presented individually for each port. External Crystal/Oscillator: A PLL (Phase Locked Loop) is integrated on-chip to generate, from a single 6 MHz crystal or crystal oscillator, the 48 MHz, 12 MHz and 6 MHz clock signals required by the UHC124 internal circuitry minimizing EMI. UHCI and OHCI: The UHC124 is fully compliant with USB Specification 2.0 (for full speed and low speed operation). However, it is not a Universal Host Controller Interface/Open Host Controller Interface (UHCI/OHCI) based device because it is not intended for the PCI bus. OEMs may develop or license, a Host Controller Driver (HCD) providing a software interface that appears to the rest of the USB host stack as if there were a UHCI or an OHCI compliant host controller. System Suspend and Resume: Under the control of user software, the UHC124 may bring the USB system into suspend state, as dictated by USB specification. While the oscillator for the UHC124 is still running, all USB bus activities, including SOF generation, are stopped. The system may be brought out of the suspend state by user software, or by a remote wakeup originating from a downstream USB device. Power Saving Mode: Under the control of user software, the UHC124 may enter the power saving mode, in which all internal clocks are stopped, and the PLL is disabled. A small quiescent current (about 200 uA) is consumed by the UHC124. The UHC124 is reactivated by a hardware reset. Software Support: TransDimension is a leader in the embedded market space, bringing both software and silicon to its customers. USB Host Stack, device drivers for most products, and interface code to the UHC124 for numerous RTOS’ are available via our wholly owned subsidiary, SoftConnex Technologies, Inc. The products are geared towards mobile and post-PC products, including mobile phone, palmtop PC, PDA, set top box, home gateway, and Internet appliances. TransDimension provides development and support packages and a wide spectrum of USB host software support in C source code to reduce development cost and time to market for its customers. USB Stack software for various real-time operating systems and device drivers for most mobile and post-PC products, as well as required interface code between the USB stack and the silicon are available by contacting your local TransDimension representative. OEMs may license from TransDimension, as part of the UHC124 Development Kit, an OS-independent UHC124 Programming Interface Library, supporting direct UHC124 operation and efficient USB host control independent of any RTOS. The UHC124 USB Host Controller Exerciser allows an OEM to quickly evaluate, and to develop applications for the UHC124 to operate on USB devices.
