EZ-USB FX2LP(TM) USB Microcontroller
Cypress's EZ-USB FX2LP(TM) (CY7C68013A/14A) is a low-power version of the EZ-USB FX2(TM) (CY7C68013), which is a highly integrated,low-power USB 2.0 microcontroller. By integrating the USB 2.0 transceiver, serial interface engine (SIE), enhanced 8051 microcontroller, and a programmable peripheral interface in a single chip, Cypress has created a very cost-effective solution that provides superior time-to-market advantages with low power to enable bus powered applications.
The ingenious architecture of FX2LP results in data transfer rates of over 53 Mbytes per second, the maximum-allowable USB 2.0 bandwidth, while still using a low-cost 8051 microcontroller in a package as small as a 56 VFBGA (5mm x 5mm).
Because it incorporates the USB 2.0 transceiver, the FX2LP is more economical, providing a smaller footprint solution than USB 2.0 SIE or external transceiver implementations. With EZ-USB FX2LP, the Cypress Smart SIE handles most of the USB 1.1 and 2.0 protocol in hardware, freeing the embedded microcontroller for application-specific functions and decreasing development time to ensure USB compatibility. The General Programmable Interface (GPIF) and Master/Slave Endpoint FIFO (8- or 16-bit data bus) provides an easy and glueless interface to popular interfaces such as ATA, UTOPIA, EPP, PCMCIA, and most DSP/processors.
The FX2LP draws considerably less current than the FX2 (CY7C68013), has double the on-chip code/data RAM and is fit, form and function compatible with the 56-, 100-, and 128-pin FX2. Five packages are defined for the family: 56VFBGA, 56 SSOP, 56 QFN, 100 TQFP, and 128 TQFP.
