Arasan Chip Systems Launches Integrated USB2 IP Solution for Enhanced Connectivity
San Jose, Friday, 11 July 2025.
Arasan Chip Systems has released its comprehensive IP solution for embedded USB2, combining a controller and PHY, which promises to streamline designs and meet European market standards.
A Leap in Connectivity With eUSB2
Arasan Chip Systems’ new embedded USB2 (eUSB2) solution, comprising both a controller and PHY component, marks a substantial step forward in semiconductor design. Tailored specifically for System on Chips (SoCs) operating at a low voltage of 1.2 volts, this offering is an innovative leap, promising enhanced connectivity for electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops [1][2][3].
European Market Relevance and Compliance
European electronics manufacturers stand to gain significantly from Arasan’s eUSB2 development. This integrated IP aligns with various European market standards, which, along with its robust suite of compliance features, makes it especially attractive for devices requiring high bandwidth and low power operation [1][3]. eUSB2’s compatibility with the long-standing USB 2.0 software stack ensures a smooth transition without the need for substantial software overhauls [4].
Technical Specifications and Benchmarks
The eUSB2 solution supports USB high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed operations, adhering to USB 2.0 L1/L2 link power management requirements, which enhance operational efficiency. The solution utilizes existing data line configurations (D+ and D-) without altering the Vbus or power delivery architecture, ensuring compatibility and ease of integration in current systems [2][3][5]. The silicon-proven nature of Arasan’s controller and PHY IP further underscores its reliability and readiness for deployment across advanced nodes in multiple foundries [1][5].
Comparative Analysis With Similar Products
In a comparative landscape, Arasan distinguishes itself as the sole provider offering a complete USB 2.0 IP suite, including host, hub, device, OTG, DRD, eUSB, and HSIC options. This positions Arasan uniquely within the market, as no other company currently provides such an extensive range within the USB domain [1][4]. This comprehensive offering not only reflects Arasan’s depth of experience in the USB IP sector but also its capacity to cater to diverse applications spanning automotive, medical, and industrial sectors [5].
