Toshiba’s USB 2.0 PHY is an IP block that provides an advanced, flexible and future-proofed solution for system designers looking to quickly and easily integrate USB functionality into a system-on-chip (SoC) ASIC. The PHY provides physical layer functionality for USB 2.0 and is used as the interface between the USB Host or Device Controller and the USB system.

Features of USB 2.0 PHY
| USB 2.0 specification compliance |
| UTMI+L3 interface |
| Integrated 45? termination resistors, 1.5k? pull-up resistors, 15k? pull-down resistors |
| 480Mbps (HS), 12Mbps (FS), 1.5Mbps (LS) transmission rates |
| Supports serial data recovery function on USB |
| Supports SYNC/End-of-Packet (EOP) and check functions |
| Supports bit stuffing, bit unstuffing and bit stuffing error detection functions |
| Supports Non Return to Zero Invert (NRZI) encoding and decoding functions |
| Supports parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel data conversion |
| Supports Suspend and Resume functions |
| Supports the USB 2.0 test mode |
| Generates a 480MHz clock for HS operation using an integrated PLL |
| Can use a 12MHz crystal oscillator or 12MHz external clock as a reference clock source |
| Supports tuning functions to optimise analogue characteristics |
| Supports VBUS Detection Circuit |
Fully silicon-proven, Toshiba’s USB 2.0 PHY is available for seamless integration in following advanced CMOS processes:
