U2X2-PCI01

Dual Channel USB 2.0 to PCI Host Adapter
U2X2-PCI01
Highlight
  • Universal PCI interfaces compatible with 3.3-V and 5-V PCI signaling environments.
  • Dual USB 2.0 Controllers (Each has one EHCI and one OHCI, total are two EHCI and two OHCI)
  • Compliant with Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0 (data rate: 1.5/12/480 Mbps)
  • Six USB Ports (Four External + Two Internal)
  • Supports hyper-speed transfer mode.


Introduction

U2X2-PCI01 is Dual Channel USB 2.0 to PCI Host Adapter

U2X2-PCI01 is designed with two key components.

  • PCI-to-PCI Bridge (32bit/33Mhz)
  • PCI multi-function device consists of one OHCI host controller core for full-/low-speed signaling and one EHCI host controller core for high-speed signaling.

U2X2-PCI01 integrated 4 host controller cores with PCI interface and USB 2.0 transceivers into a single PCI host adapter.

The PCI-to-PCI Bridge that are designed to be fully compliant with the 32-bit, 33MHz implementation of the PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2. Two PCI multi-function devices are integrated at the Secondary Bus to provide more connectivity and performance.

U2X2-PCI01 complies with USB Revision 2.0 and OHCI (Open Host Controller Interface) specification for full/low-speed signaling, and Intel's EHCI (Enhanced Host Controller Interface) specification for high-speed signaling which can work up to 480Mbps.

U2X2-PCI01 supports hyper-speed transfer mode for asynchronous transfer in high-speed mode, and it can greatly improve data transfer rate for high-speed devices supporting bulk transfer, such as USB storage, scanner, printer, etc.
