USB 3.0 interface design tool
30 May 2012
Design Automation
Cypress Semiconductor announced the availability of its GPIF II Designer Software for EZ-USB FX3 Controllers for SuperSpeed USB 3.0. GPIF (General Programmable Interface) II Designer provides designers with a powerful, easy-to-use graphical interface to configure EZ-USB FX3’s programmable GPIF II interface to communicate with any microcontroller, ASIC, FPGA, image sensor or similar devices that needs USB connectivity.
The tool provides an intuitive interface through just three easy-to-use screens: a Configuration Window to define I/O and control lines, a State Machine Canvas to define the interface’s state machine, and a Timing Simulation Window to verify interface timing. It also provides industry standard project management features for FX3 customers to save and reuse their GPIF II interface designs. The software generates a C header file that can be integrated with FX3 applications using the FX3 API library and used with standard ARM tools.
GPIF II Designer comes bundled with ready-to-use customisable definitions for asynchronous and synchronous slave FIFO, asynchronous and synchronous ADMUX and asynchronous SRAM interfaces. Designers who need one of these pre-defined interfaces in their system can easily adapt them to their own needs by choosing from a standard set of parameters including bus width (x8, x16 and x32), endianness and clock settings.
