Embedded USB 3.0/3.1 Gen1 (eUSB30SF) Device Controller
Block Diagram

Overview
USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 standard is ubiquitous across the world and has raised the demand to implement it in various products. The integration of USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 Device with FPGA development board needs 60+ I/O for USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 PHY chip to connect it with FPGA. This adds an extra cost to the board. Intel® has introduce the FPGA which has in built transceiver which run at 5Gbps speed (same as USB 3.1 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) Specification) with features like 8b/10b, SKIP control etc. required during implementing USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 Controller. SLS has integrate the USB 3.1 Gen 1 Device IP Core with the Intel Transceiver and USB 2.0 PHY chip, and developed the eUSB 3.1 Gen 1 Device Controller IP Core, offering low cost solution.
Features
- USB 3.0 compatible link for embedded applications
- Supports CONTROL, BULK and ISO transfer without stream support
- Implementation of PHY Layer (with Intel® FPGA 5+ Gbps transceiver), Link Layer and Protocol Layer
- Supports 32-bit PHY Layer data interface between Intel® FPGA Transceiver PHY IP core and Link Layer
Getting Started
1. Request an Evaluation version with License from http://www.slscorp.com/licensing/ip-licensing.html.2. An email send to download the IP Core and the license file to compile the Intel® Quartus Prime II design.3. The IP Core installs documents including tutorial, software guide, reference design, Nios® II driver and examples, Windows driver and examples and testing applications.4. Integrate and test in your design.5. Reference documents are also available at http://www.slscorp.com/downloads/category/127.htmlFor any question or support, contact at support@slscorp.com.
