EZ-USB™ FX5 utilizes one lane of USB 3.2 Gen1 PHY to transfer data in 5 Gbps. Infineon's USB 3.2 PHY IP allows dynamic programmability allowing optimal connection to support up to 10-meter of passive USB cable with 3.7 Gbps maximum performance.

  1. Read the "Getting Started with EZ-USB™ FX10" application note and review the collateral guide for a system-level overview of a design using EZ-USB™ FX5
  2. Purchase a new EZ-USB™ FX5 Development Kit (KIT_FX5_FMC_001) and download the related hardware design files
  3. Download ModusToolbox™, EZ-USB™ FX Control Center, and software tools for EZ-USB™ FX5 software development"

USB 3.2 can be leveraged in many diverse applications, ranging from factory automation to medical and life sciences, from retail to security and surveillance. Some key application categories include:

  • cameras (machine vision, endoscope, dental intraoral, ultrasound, x-ray, multi-sensor, and DSLR)
  • FPGA modules & SOM
  • test and measurement (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and spectrum analyzers)
  • interface converters (10GBASE-T, PCIe)
  • frame grabbers (HDMI, SDI, Camera Link, CoaXpress)
  • scanners (3D, document)

New speed levels, such as USB 10Gbps, can unlock further emerging applications, bringing digitalization into new and varied fields.
