Terminus Circuits delivers a state-of-the-art USB 3.1 PHY designed for integration into contemporary Systems-on-Chip (SoCs). Targeted at enhancing data exchange in media storage and playback devices, this PHY supports both USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 protocols. Its architecture ensures minimal power consumption and latency while accommodating high-speed data transfers, critical for maintaining system efficiency and performance.
The design features innovative technology such as a hard macro for physical media attachment alongside a soft macro compliant with PIPE4.2, supporting configurations like quad and single lane architectures. With parallel data widths of 8 and 16 bits, it facilitates a versatile range of device interconnections, crucial for modern high-performance requirements in electronics.
Enhanced signal quality is assured through support for advanced signal loss and receiver detection capabilities. Notably, the PHY manages signal integrity through programmable multi-tap equalizers and de-emphasis across cable lengths up to 1 meter, maximizing data throughput without compromise. An integral 10GHz PLL provides high-speed low-jitter performance, essential for stable and reliable device operations.
