Cypress's New High-Speed USB 2.0 Microcontroller Has World's Smallest Package And Lowest Power For Mobile Phones, PMPs, PDAs and Webcams.SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :CY), the market leader in USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. , today introduced the world's smallest high-speed USB 2.0 programmable microcontroller. Cypress is now offering its EZ-USB FX2LP(TM) controller in a 56-ball VFBGA VFBGA Very Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array VFBGA Very Thin Profile Fine Pitch Bga (Very Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array “BGA” redirects here. For other uses, see BGA (disambiguation). A ball grid array (BGA) is a type of surface-mount packaging used for integrated circuits. ) package that measures only 5 mm x 5 mm with 0.5-mm ball pitch. The device, with its diminutive package and the EZ-USB LP(TM) family's industry-leading low power specifications, delivers an ideal solution for implementing high-speed USB in small-form-factor and/or battery-powered applications such as mobile phones, portable media players, PDAs and webcams. The EZ-USB LP family takes advantage of advanced process technology developed by Cypress to slash dynamic and standby power consumption by nearly 50 percent vs. leading competitors. As a result of the low dynamic power, peripherals using the new devices can operate from the power of the USB bus. The low standby current enables portable USB applications to significantly extend battery life. "We have established ourselves as the industry leader in USB by consistently delivering the best level of customer service, including reference designs, developer kits and worldwide technical support," said Steven Larky lark·y adj. lark·i·er, lark·i·est 1. High-spirited; zestful: "It's a very larky Nureyev whom we see  a buoyant imp who . . . , managing director of Cypress's USB product line. "The new VFBGA package for the EZ-USB FX2LP highlights our focus on serving the growing consumer electronics market and demonstrates the expertise of our packaging engineering team." The EZ-USB FX2LP has typical current consumption (Icc) of just 50 mA, enabling peripherals to enumerate To count or list one by one. For example, an enumerated data type defines a list of all possible values for a variable, and no other value can then be placed into it. See device enumeration and ENUM. at well below the 100 mA USB-IF bus power specification to offer ample power margins to implement additional features. Competing solutions typically consume 80-110 mA. The device is a fully integrated peripheral controller, including an 8051 microprocessor, a serial interface engine, a high-speed USB 2.0 transceiver, on-chip RAM and FIFO (First In First Out) A storage method that retrieves the item stored for the longest time. Contrast with LIFO. See traffic engineering methods. FIFO - first-in first-out and a general programmable interface. Its unique architecture handles all basic USB functions, enabling the host system's microprocessor to focus on application-specific functions and ensuring sustained high-performance data transfer rates. Featuring a data rate of 480 Mbps, 16 Kbytes of on-chip memory, and up to 40 programmable I/Os, Cypress's EZ-USB FX2LP solution provides world-class design flexibility. Pricing and Availability The new EZ-USB FX2LP (CY7C68013A-56BAXC/CY7C68014A-56BAXC) devices are USB-IF certified and in full production. In addition to the 56-ball VFBGA, the EZ-USB FX2LP is offered in 100- and 128-pin TQFP See QFP. and 56-pin QFN QFN Quad Flat No-Lead QFN Queen Fan Newsletter (rock band) QFN Quad Flat No Leads and SSOP SSOP Shrink Small Outline Package SSOP Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (USDA) SSOP Sanitary Standard Operating Procedures SSOP Sharescan-Open Platform (Ecopy) SSOP Site Security Operational Procedures packages. Pricing in high volumes for the EZ-USB FX2LP starts at as low as $2.95. A high-resolution photo of the new 56-ball VFBGA package can be downloaded at http://www.cypress.com/ezusb-fx2lp-photo. Cypress also offers the CY3684 EZ-USB FX2LP Development Kit to facilitate the design process and speed time-to-market for customers. Priced at $495, it is available for download at the Cypress "On-line Store" at www.cypress.com.
