Arasan 2nd generation USB PHY is a result of its continual evolution over decades, resulting in this generation with ultra-low area and power specifically targeting IoT and Mobile Devices. The highest Priority has been paid to area optimization with the goal to offer the industry’s smallest USB 2.0 PHY.
