3. FX3 Overview
FX3 is a full-feature, general purpose integrated USB 3.0 Super-Speed controller with built-in flexible
interface (GPIF II), which is designed to interface to any processor thus enabling customers to add
USB 3.0 to any system.
The logic block diagram shows the basic block diagram of FX3. The integrated USB 3.0 Phy and
controller along with a 32-bit processor make FX3 powerful for data processing and building custom
applications. An integrated USB 2.0 OTG controller enables applications that need dual role usage
scenarios. A fully configurable, parallel, General Programmable Interface (GPIF II) provides
connection to any processor, ASIC, DSP, or FPGA. There is 512 kB of on-chip SRAM for code and
data. There are also low performance peripherals such as UART, SPI, I
2
C, and I2S to communicate
to onboard peripherals such as EEPROM. The CPU manages the data transfer between the USB,
GPIF II, I2S, SPI, and UART interfaces through firmware and internal DMA interfaces.
3.1 CPU
FX3 is powered by ARM926EJS, a 32-bit advanced processor core licensed from ARM that is
capable of executing 220 MIPS [Wikipedia] at 200 MHz, the compute power needed to perform MP3
encoding, decryption, and header processing at USB 3.0 rates for the Universal Video Class
The 'Harvard Architecture' based processor accesses instruction and data memory separate
dedicated 32-bit industry standard AHB buses. Separate instruction and data caches are built into
