Microchip Technology USB3280-AEZG High-Speed USB 2.0 Transceiver

The USB3280-AEZG is a highly integrated, high-performance USB 2.0 physical layer transceiver (PHY) produced by Microchip Technology. It is designed to cater to the needs of modern, high-speed USB applications, providing a seamless interface between the USB core logic and the physical USB cable. This product is specifically tailored for power-sensitive and mobile applications with its low-power consumption and small form factor.

Constructed with a Hi-Speed UTMI+ interface on the ULPI (UTMI+ Low Pin Interface), the USB3280-AEZG supports a 60 MHz or 48 MHz reference clock, providing flexible options for system designers. This feature-rich transceiver is also equipped with an integrated 1.8V voltage regulator, which simplifies the power supply design and reduces external component count, thus saving PCB space and overall system costs.

Key features of the USB3280-AEZG include:

• Compliance: Fully compliant with the USB 2.0 specification and backward compatible with USB 1.1, ensuring broad interoperability with existing and future USB devices.
• High-Speed Data Rates: Capable of operating at 480 Mbps (high-speed), 12 Mbps (full-speed), and 1.5 Mbps (low-speed) to accommodate a wide range of USB applications.
• Low Power Consumption: Features a low-power mode to conserve energy, making it ideal for battery-powered devices.
• Small Package Size: Available in a compact 32-QFN (5x5 mm) package, perfect for space-constrained applications.
• Temperature Range: Operates over an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, suitable for harsh environments.

The USB3280-AEZG is an excellent choice for designers looking to integrate USB 2.0 functionality into their products without the complexities and power demands of a full USB controller. Its ease of implementation and support for multiple interface options make it highly versatile for applications such as portable devices, docking stations, gaming consoles, and many other USB-enabled electronics.

With Microchip's commitment to quality and long-term availability, the USB3280-AEZG is a reliable solution for your high-speed USB connectivity needs, ensuring your product's performance and compatibility for years to come.
