Cypress Semiconductor has added a low-power mass-storage bridge solution to its portfolio of USB 2.0 products. It is a fixed-function ATA/ATAPI mass-storage controller that supports hi-speed USB bus-powered applications.
The ISD-300LP (CY7C68310) low-power mass-storage controller is compatible with all industry-standard ATA/ATAPI devices. It enables portable computer users to take their mass-storage subsystems with them without the need to plug into wall outlets. USB 2.0 devices can be either 'self-powered'- drawing current from an external power supply - or 'bus-powered', drawing power from a computer's internal USB bus and eliminating external power supplies and cables.
The CY4617 reference design kit is also available with the ISD-300LP. This kit includes an evaluation board, hardware, software, Windows driver and manufacturing utilities.
