EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
MAX3421E
USB Peripheral/Host Controller
with SPI Interface
General Description
The MAX3421E USB peripheral/host controller contains
the digital logic and analog circuitry necessary to
implement a full-speed USB peripheral or a full-/low-
speed host compliant to USB specification rev 2.0. A
built-in transceiver features ±15kV ESD protection and
programmable USB connect and disconnect. An inter-
nal serial interface engine (SIE) handles low-level USB
protocol details such as error checking and bus retries.
The MAX3421E operates using a register set accessed
by an SPI interface that operates up to 26MHz. Any SPI
master (microprocessor, ASIC, DSP, etc.) can add USB
peripheral or host functionality using the simple 3- or 4-
wire SPI interface.
The MAX3421E makes the vast collection of USB
peripherals available to any microprocessor, ASIC, or
DSP when it operates as a USB host. For point-to-point
solutions, for example, a USB keyboard or mouse inter-
faced to an embedded system, the firmware that oper-
ates the MAX3421E can be simple since only a
targeted device is supported.
Internal level translators allow the SPI interface to run at
a system voltage between 1.4V and 3.6V. USB-timed
operations are done inside the MAX3421E with inter-
rupts provided at completion so an SPI master does not
need timers to meet USB timing requirements. The
MAX3421E includes eight general-purpose inputs and
outputs so any microprocessor that uses I/O pins to
implement the SPI interface can reclaim the I/O pins
and gain additional ones.
The MAX3421E operates over the extended -40°C to
+85°C temperature range and is available in a 32-pin
TQFP package (5mm x 5mm) and a 32-pin TQFN pack-
age (5mm x 5mm).
