Cypress Semiconductor Corporation’s (Cypress’s) EZ-USB FX2LP™ (CY7C68013A/14A) is a low power version of the EZ-USB FX2™ (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 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-bit 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 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.
