About

Covering the latest trends and topics in USB IP.

I started working on USB in 1995, starting with the world’s first BIOS that supported USB Keyboards and Mice while at Award Software. After a departure into embedded systems software for real-time operating systems, I returned to USB IP cores and software at inSilicon, one of the leading suppliers of USB IP. In 2002, inSilicon was acquired by Synopsys and I’ve been here since. I also served as Chairman of the USB On-The-Go Working Group for the USB Implementers Forum from 2004-2006.

I received an M.B.A. from Santa Clara University and an M.S. in Engineering from University of California Irvine, and a B.S. in Engineering from the University of Minnesota. I’m a licensed Professional Engineer in Civil Engineering in the State of California

Synopsys first IP company to demo USB 3.0 Host, Hub, & Device

Posted by Eric Huang on September 22nd, 2009

Hi Everyone,

I’m really pleased to announce that we are demonstrating our USB 3.0 Host, Hub and Device at IDF in San Francisco this week.

The xHCI Host is running on the Linux operating system with the open source Linux drivers you can find here written by Sarah Sharp.

The USB 3.0 Hub controller we demonstrated was connected to a USB 3.0 Host from the USB-IF. The Hub was connected to 3 downstream peripherals including a USB 3.0 Mass Storage Device, USB 2.0 Flash Drive (off-the-shelf) and USB 1.1 (or LS) Mouse. We were able to transfer a large video file and view it from the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 drive, and also transfer a file from the USB 2.0 Flash Drive, and use the USB 1.1 Mouse for the demonstration.

You can read our press release here.
