ArcticLink Architecture

Key Platform Features

The ArcticLink® Solution Platform family of programmable connectivity combines interconnect building blocks, such as Hi-Speed USB 2.0 OTG, SDIO and CE-ATA Host Controllers, with an embedded ultra-low power programmable fabric block, all in a single-chip solution. The combination of small form factor packaging, ultra-low power technology and host bus interface configurability makes this platform ideal for addressing emerging connectivity requirements in power critical portable and mobile consumer electronics applications.

Through the on-chip programmable fabric, the host bus interface can be tailored to expand the peripheral set of a broad variety of common mobile application processor families, to meet the emerging connectivity requirements for wired/wireless communications and media storage. With an innovative internal split bus architecture, the platform enables sustained and concurrent data transfers between slow- and high-speed peripherals, and to/from the common programmable fabric-based host interface.
