ESCRIPTION
The OXCFU950 is a low-cost, synchronous 16-bit PC Card
(PCMCIA) or CompactFlash/CF+ to UART and USB host
controller. It combines the high performance of Oxford
Semiconductor OX16C95x UART technology with USB
host capabilities. The inclusion of both a UART and USB
make the OXCFU950 ideal for wireless data cards.
The OXCFU950 integrates an OHCI-based USB host
controller, which supports a single USB port via the
integrated transceiver. An 8-Kbyte memory provides an
efficient interface for buffer and control structures between
the USB controller and the device driver.
The attribute memory, UART and USB registers can be
programmed via the internal EEPROM during power up or
hard/soft reset, allowing different card manufacturers to
customize information contained in the attribute memory or
UART/USB registers, for example PC Card ID value.
The 3.3-V technology has been specified to operate as low
as 2.85 V to allow an in-line regulator to be used for mixed
3-V/5-V applications. CF/PC Card pins are 5-V tolerant and
the variable I/O voltage to the UART/MIO pins eases the
connection to application chipsets.
A number of power-down modes are included to minimize
power consumption, including sleep modes for when a
device function is not being used.
The OXCFU950 contains a single-channel ultra-high
performance OX16C95x UART offering data rates up to
12 Mbps and 128-byte deep transmitter and receiver
FIFOs. Deep FIFOs reduce CPU overhead and allow
utilization of higher data rates.
The OXCFU950 USB controller supports OHCI-compliant
host stack software (available from Oxford Semiconductor).
The OXCFU950 UART is software-compatible with the
widely-used industry-standard 16C550 type devices and
compatibles, as well as other OX16C95x family devices.
