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

USB 3.0 at Home

Posted by Eric Huang on February 11th, 2013

Forward this Blog Address to your friends: http://blogs.synopsys.com/tousbornottousb/

Occasionally, I write something and it gets published in a reputable location (after crafty editing).

Check out our “USB Makes Itself Right at Home.” article in EETimes – EELife. We talk about how USB 3.0 started entering the home on non-PC, more consumer products.

****** 3rd Edit on Feb 2 2012, I add the graphic below and the word “Subscribe” *******

PHYs, PHYs, PHYs – Synopsys’ USB 3.0 PHY IP and USB 2.0 PHY – Blantant Marketing Pitch

Synopsys not only has fantastic USB Digital IP, but also USB PHY IP, both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 IP. In fact, I’m guessing we have ported our USB PHYs to over 100 process nodes.

How could this be? How is this possible? Hard work and great execution and 10 years of building PHYs. You can read more about our USB PHYs here at our USB Solutions page here.

USB Humor – The USB Pet Rock

This Rock is a Rock, Cable, Glue, and a Box
Costs more than an actual USB 2.0 Flash Drive (the cheap slow kind)
And probably made the Manufacturer more money that that makers of actual USB products.

USB Pet Rock for $9.99
