Cypress Semiconductor's new family of next-generation USB embedded host controllers feature 16-bit RISC controllers, large memory and low power. They are intended for development of embedded applications - including cellphones, PDAs, printers, cameras and music players - that can connect to each other without the need for a host computer. EZ-Host (CY7C67300) is a multiport embedded host/peripheral controller targeted at the non-handheld market (includes: set-top boxes, DVD players, Internet appliances, wireless access points, print servers and KVM switches). EZ-Host contains a 16-bit RISC micro; two USB serial interface engines (each individually configurable); and a configurable I/O block that can connect to numerous standard interfaces. EZ-OTG (CY7C67200) contains most of the functionality of EZ-Host but is customised for mobile devices. Supporting USB On-the-Go (OTG) protocol, it enables true 'plug-and-play' connectivity between portable devices.
