Overview
The GL USB4 PHY IP provide designers with a complete physical (PHY) layer IP solution for consumer applications such as digital cameras, edge devices, media players and other consumer electronics requiring high-throughput USB capabilities. The GL USB4 PHY IP also supports the reversible USB Type-C connector. The GL USB4 PHY IP offers a small die size with low power consumption.
The GL USB4 PHY IP implement the latest USB-C specifications from the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF). Architected for the industry’s most advanced 0.9V process technologies, the GL USB4 PHY IP are designed with features created to minimize effects due to variations in foundry process, device models, packages, and board parasitic. The GL USB4 PHY IP build on years of customer success with GL’s silicon-proven GL USB4 product line. When combined with GL’s digital controllers and building blocks, the GL USB4 PHY IP provides a complete solution for low- power, small die area requirements in advanced system-on-chip (SoC) designs.
