Go to Hi-Speed USB Page

General Description

The SMSC USB225x is a family of USB 2.0 compliant, high speed Mass Storage Class Peripheral Controllers intended for reading and writing to more than 24 popular flash media formats from the CompactFlash® (CF), SmartMedia™ (SM), xD Picture Card™ (xD)1, Memory Stick™ (MS), Secure Digital (SD), and MultiMediaCard™ (MMC) families.

The SMSC USB225x is a fully integrated, single chip solution capable of ultra high performance operation. Average sustained transfer rates exceeding 35MB/s are possible if the media and host can support those rates.

General Features

128-pin VTQFP lead-free RoHS compliant package
Targeted for applications in which single or "combo" media sockets are used. Supports multiple simultaneous card insertions
Flexible assignment of number of LUNs and how card types are associated with the LUNs
Hardware-controlled data flow architecture for all self-mapped media
Pipelined hardware support for access to non-self-mapped media
