Kawasaki LSI To Provide USB 2.0 Ethernet Controller for Intel's Hannacroix Concept Program; Demo at Fall Comdex, LVCC, Room No. N261 Kawasaki LSI At USB Pavillion.Business Editors/High Tech Writers COMDEX The former, premier computer trade show in the U.S. Although it grew into an end user event, it was originally created for dealers and distributors (it was the COMputer Dealers EXposition). Fall 2001 LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 12, 2001 Kawasaki LSI LSI: see integrated circuit. (Large Scale Integration) Between 3,000 and 100,000 transistors on a chip. See SSI, MSI, VLSI and ULSI. , U.S.A (KLSI KLSI Kuala Lumpur Syariah Index ), the 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. controller company, has been selected as a participant in the Hannacroix concept PC project. The Hannacroix program, part of Intel's desktop products and systems division (DPSD DPSD Data Processing Systems Division DPSD Digital Publications Standard Development ), is intended to demonstrate advanced motherboard and I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output technologies for greater connectivity. Specifically, KLSI will be part of an internal communication card designed to provide a one-stop gateway for all USB 2.0 Ethernet 100/10, HPNA See HomePNA. (USB to home networking), HAN (home area network), and wireless connections. Designed to promote the next phase of interconnectivity for PC, laptop and mobile, the card has two 10/100 Ethernet ports for broadband and external peripheral connections. KLSI's USB2.0 controller and transceiver, the KL5KUSB220, a USB 2.0 to 100 Base T Ethernet controller and the KL5KUSB201, USB 2.0 transceiver are key elements of this gateway communication card. The Hannacroix concept PC illustrates Intel's ability to integrate future technologies seamlessly onto a single platform. Hannacroix features next generation technologies and is being developed by the Intel's Desktop Platform Solutions Division.

"With our USB 1.0 and 2.0 networking products, quick and easy connectivity to 100 Mbit Ethernet networks is achieved. These faster speeds allow the consumer to access and share different media simultaneously such as web data, voice, and video," said Joel Silverman, vice president of marketing for KLSI's USB products. The KL5KUSB220 USB 2.0 to Ethernet controller in conjunction with the KL5KUSB201 USB2.0 PHY allows for an easy interface between 100 base-T Ethernet networking and the USB 2.0 (480Mb/sec.) specification. USB 2.0 is 40 times faster than traditional USB. Ethernet controllers based on version USB 2.0 provide full 100Mbit Ethernet operation. KLSI provides reference design schematics, drivers, and evaluation boards that make USB 2.0 product development simple. Its MII physical layer interface also allows the designer to interface to a wide range of available networking standards. The KL5KUSB201 USB2.0 PHY is a transceiver for the device side that interfaces between the USB serial bus and the UTMI UTMI USB 2.0 Transceiver Macrocell Interface UTMI Usb Transceiver Macrocell Interface compliant SIE bus. The USB 2.0 standard UTMI interface allows the KL5KUSB201 to be use with all USB 2.0 peripheral designs. Kawasaki LSI, U.S.A Kawasaki LSI, U.S.A (KLSI) is the sales, marketing and engineering support office for the Americas serving customers in the areas of connectivity and communications. The company offers a wide range of USB products and was first to market with USB 1.1 and 2.0 to Ethernet, USB Home Networking 1.0 and 2.0, USB HomePlug and USB to Parallel / Serial devices. ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. and CAM products are also provided by Kawasaki LSI.
