The USB 3.1 PHY is engineered for the latest USB standard, targeting seamless integration into a variety of SoCs for electronic gadgets requiring high-bandwidth data transfer. This PHY is tailored for media storage and playback devices, facilitating faster data communication between PCs and portable electronics.
Designed for high speed and low latency, the PHY leverages advanced Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) technology to support both USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 standards, with configurations for parallel data widths of 8 bits and 16 bits. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices, while the small form factor aids in integration without sizeable space requirements.
Key features include a comprehensive set of physical layer features like QUAD and single lane configurations that enhance flexibility. The PHY's support for high-speed, low-jitter communications and the ability to operate efficiently even with cable lengths up to 1 meter ensures robust performance in various settings.
