USB Transceiver Introduced As Market’s Smallest

In a 20-pin WLCSP that measures 2.2 mm x 1.8 mm, the MoBL-USB TX3LP18 ULPI USB may be the industry's smallest USB 2.0 transceiver. Compliant with the UTMI (USB 2.0 Transceiver Macrocell Interface) plus Low-Pin Interface (ULPI) standard, the chip specifies a power consumption of 0.5 µA nominal in sleep mode. It also integrates multiple passive components in order to further reduce board space and a PLL to supply USB clocking without a dedicated crystal. Other features include an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Currently sampling, production is set for later this year. CYPRESS SEMICONDUCTOR CORP., San Jose, CA. (800) 541-4736.
