USB Microcontroller Question

Aug 20, 2009 9 Replies

I am just getting up to speed on using USB in an embedded environment. What I am wanting to do is to use one of the available microcontrollers (AVR,PIC,etc) in a USB HOST mode. In particular, I desire to interface a USB mouse to an embedded project. Is this feasible with the microcontrollers available? I could use some advise in regards to this issue. Thanks Jim


Yes, you can use At90usb647/1287 in usb host mode.

Microchip makes several USB OTG devices.

Look at the Vinculum VNC1 - I think it can be used for things like mice and printers in addition to its filesytem functionality

Microchip has a few 16 & 32 bit chips which support USB host mode.

Check out AN1141, for example.
