TransDimension Achieves USB-IF High-Speed Certification of USB On-the-Go Controller.IRVINE, Calif. -- TransDimension, a leading provider of 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. connectivity solutions for embedded applications, today announced that its TD1120 single-chip USB OTG (USB On The Go) An enhancement to USB that enables portable USB devices to be cabled directly together without the need for a PC in between. Fully compliant with USB 2.0, USB OTG devices began to ship in 2002. high-speed peripheral and full-speed host controller successfully completed the USB Integrator's Forum (USB-IF) High-Speed certification testing. The TD1120 is the industry's first single-chip USB On-the-Go (OTG (1) See USB OTG. (2) (The OBJECTive Technology Group, Ltd., Alexandria, VA) An organization that was devoted to distributed computing and object technology. Founded in 1994, it augmented the object and Internet standards community and served as an intermediary between ) controller that incorporates a full-speed host and high-speed peripheral, thus enabling embedded systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. to operate as both a host and a peripheral simultaneously. "Achieving high-speed certification for the TD1120 validates our design and engineering efforts, and demonstrates our ongoing dedication to provide the most complete, high-performance USB connectivity solution for our customers," said Paul Liu, TransDimension's director of marketing. "It also gives our customers a high degree of confidence in their products' maximum interoperability with other USB products in the market." The TD1120 is the third generation of OTG controllers offered by TransDimension and is optimized for a broad range of high-performance and low-power mobile and consumer applications. It is ideal for applications requiring high-speed peripheral connectivity such as portable media players, cellular phones, MP3 players, PDAs and GPS devices. Certification testing was completed at the USB-IF Compliance Workshop in Milpitas, Calif., on Sept. 16, 2005. About USB Implementers Forum The USB Implementers Forum, USB-IF, is a non-profit organisation to promote and support the Universal Serial Bus. Its main activities are the promotion and marketing of USB, Wireless USB, USB On-The-Go, and the maintenance of the specifications, as well as a compliance program. (USB-IF) Compliance Workshop The USB-IF Compliance Workshop provides a forum for the leading USB OTG integrators to meet and perform supervised testing of OTG dual-role devices against OTG electrical and protocol compliance programs. Designed to complement the specification and enable measurement of compliance in real products, the USB-IF has instituted a compliance program that provides rigorous measures of acceptability. Products that pass this level of acceptability are added to the Integrators List and have the right to license the USB-IF logo.
