ULPI Introduction

The USB334x uses the industry standard ULPI digital interface for communication between the transceiver and Link

(device controller). The ULPI interface is designed to reduce the number of pins required to connect a discrete USB

transceiver to an ASIC or digital controller. For example, a full UTMI+ Level 3 OTG interface requires 54 signals while

a ULPI interface requires only 12 signals.

The ULPI interface is documented completely in the “UTMI+ Low Pin Interface (ULPI) Specification Revision 1.1”. The

following sections describe the operating modes of the USB334x digital interface.

Figure 6-1 illustrates the block diagram of the ULPI digital functions. It should be noted that this USB334x does not use

a “ULPI wrapper” around a UTMI+ PHY core as the ULPI specification implies.

The advantage of a “wrapper-less” architecture is that the USB334x has a lower USB latency than a design which must

first register signals into the PHY’s wrapper before the transfer to the transceiver core. A low latency PHY allows a wrap-

per around a UTMI Link to be used and still make the required USB turn-around timing required by the USB 2.0 speci-

fication.
