USB Products

Analog Devices’ wide range of USB products enable the high signal integrity and broad interoperability needed to solve key data and power requirements when implementing USB interface connections. Maxim offers the most robust high speed (480 Mbps) and full speed (12 Mbps) USB switches in the industry with up to 5.5 V fault protection and ±15 kV ESD protection.

Thanks to USB-C and USB power delivery, compact electronic devices can now be fed by a small, single, bidirectional cable that delivers data, video, and power. Although USB Type-C and USB power delivery are making electronic devices easier to manage for end users, complying with the protocol can involve multiple hardware components, complex software, as well as custom firmware development. Our extensive portfolio of ICs for USB-C and USB power delivery designs provides high levels of integration and flexibility that engineers need to create compact, power-efficient electronics compatible with bidirectional data and power delivery requirements. Our portfolio includes chargers, converters, controllers, as well as power path and protection devices.

Analog Devices’ wide range of USB products enable the high signal integrity and broad interoperability needed to solve key data and power requirements when implementing USB interface connections. USB controllers use a simple 3- or 4-wire SPI interface to allow any microprocessor, DSP, or ASIC to become a USB peripheral or USB host.

Analog Devices’ wide range of USB products enable the high signal integrity and broad interoperability needed to solve key data and power requirements when implementing USB interface connections. Our USB host adapter emulators are high performance solutions that combine USB high speed analog switches with a USB adapter emulator circuit.

USB isolators protect the communication interface between the host, such as a PC, and its peripheral. Utilizing iCoupler® digital isolation technology, Analog Devices offers USB 2.0 compliant SOIC components with data rates up to 12 Mbps that provide EMC protection and safety isolation, reduce design size and time, and lower system cost. Galvanically isolated USB μModule® (micromodule) transceivers integrate the USB interface with an isolated dc-to-dc converter for up to 2.5 W of isolated power and provide ±15 kV ESD. Whether for host, hub, bus splitter, or peripheral device, these transparent USB digital isolators are easy to use—they just work—all while meeting the demanding standards required for medical and industrial applications.

USB On-The-Go (OTG) allows two USB devices to talk to each other without requiring the services of a personal computer (PC). USB to USB OTG converters are used in conjunction with ASICs or microprocessor controlled ASSPs that already support USB, but need to add VBUS control and the extra signaling required to become USB OTG compliant.

Analog Devices’ wide range of USB products enable the high signal integrity and broad interoperability needed to solve key data and power requirements when implementing USB interface connections. Our USB power switches protect USB ports and provide current limiting up to 4 amps, and are compliant to all USB specifications. Our AECQ-100 qualified USB switches are designed for use in automotive applications.

Analog Devices offers industry leading ±15kV ESD-protected USB-compliant transceivers which interface low-voltage ASICs with USB devices. The transceivers fully comply to USB 2.0 when operating at Full-Speed (12Mbps) or Low-Speed (1.5Mbps) Mode.
