USB phy in dev board

Mar 30, 2006 2 Replies

Hi all,



I would like to ask if anyone has implemented a physical usb interface in a development board of altera that has not mounted a usb inf.



The core for usb1.1 and 2.0 are available but do i need certain physical layer to implement usb?



I heared that for low speed i dont need to implement anythin just drive the wires into the fpga but for high speed i need to implement the phy intf.



Any suggestions? Thanks

If you need a High Speed (480 Mbit/s) USB 2.0 interface, it is probably safest and least trouble to pick an existing integrated PHY such as

For USB1 1.5 Mbps it can be done with a mcu-PIC, 12 Mbps can proberbly also be accomplished fairly easily. USB2 480 Mbps is another ballgame.. but with enough MHz it maybe will work .. ;)
