USB controller upgraded

  • communications hardware

Future Technology Devices International has launched the Vinculum VNC2 dual USB 2.0 host/slave intelligent SoC controller. The device builds on the capabilities of the VNC1L by reducing the device cost, as well as allowing designers to develop their own application firmware and program the host controller.

Built around a customised 16bit mcu core, the part features 256kbyte of on chip flash and 16kbyte of sram data memory. A range of interface options is provided, selectable through an I/O multiplexer.
VNC2 will be available with 32, 48 and 64pins, with up to 44 user defined I/Os. The chip is also available in LQFP or QFN packages. Operating from a 3.3V dc supply, the VNC2 has a typical standby current of 128uA and three low power modes.
The Vinculum VNC2 suits a broad range of USB consumer and industrial related applications including camera, mobile accessories, data loggers, toys, keyboards, game controller interfacing, POS applications and USB to USB bridges.
