BeUSB 3.0 Product Description
The new interface board, BeUSB 3.0, utilizes Cypress's EZ-USB® FX3™ controller to implement the new SuperSpeed USB 3.0 standard. The interface board connects to a USB 3.0 PC host through a SuperSpeed Micro B connector, delivering a data rate of up to 5 Gbps, which is 10 times faster than the USB 2.0 rate. The BeUSB 3.0 must be used in conjunction with BeMicro SDK and both of these boards can be purchased from Arrow Electronics by clicking on the respective links.
Uvation has developed a hardware-centric evaluation platform around the Cypress FX3 peripheral IC. This overall evaluation platform includes the ability to interface to an external FPGA based solution and leverages existing off the shelf development boards. The default target development board is the low cost BeMicro SDK housing an Altera Cyclone IV FPGA. An HSMC card-edge adaptor is also available allowing developers to attach our FX3 development board to Altera’s higher end FPGA development systems via the common HSMC add-on interface.
