Overview

The TUSB1210 is a high-speed USB 2.0 PHY transceiver designed to interface with a ULPI-compliant link controller. It supports the full range of USB 2.0 speeds (480Mbps, 12Mbps, and 1.5Mbps) and includes a complete physical front-end for USB On-The-Go (OTG) applications.

Why Choose This Part

The device features integrated VBUS overvoltage protection and 5V short-circuit protection on DP, DM, and ID pins, reducing external component count. It offers flexibility with a 60 MHz ULPI clock that can be configured as either an input or an output, and its 1.8V I/O is optimized for 50 ohm line impedance.

Applications

Mobile Handsets
Integrates high-speed USB connectivity into mobile processors lacking an integrated PHY.
Portable Media Players
Provides the physical layer for syncing large media libraries at 480Mbps.
Embedded Host Controllers
Enables USB host or dual-role functionality in industrial tablets and handheld terminals.
USB OTG Peripherals
Supports Host Negotiation Protocol (HNP) and Session Request Protocol (SRP) for peer-to-peer data exchange.

Getting Started

Engineers should begin by reviewing the ULPI (UTMI+ Low Pin Interface) specification to ensure timing compatibility with the link controller. Hardware design requires careful impedance matching of the DP/DM differential pairs, and the TUSB1210EVM evaluation module can be used to validate signal integrity.
