NET2272-SIL-PB-P1-1.3
Design Applications
Cell Phones and PDAs
As cell phones and PDAs include more memory for storing
rich media, faster USB transfer rates become more important.
The NET2272 is designed to easily add Hi-Speed USB 2.0
functionality to today’s communication devices.
With the USB Communications Device class driver, PCs can
easily use cell phones, connected through USB, to setup a high
speed wireless internet connection. PLX provides device
firmware supporting the USB Communications Device
standard. This means that PCs can recognize these devices
without additional host drivers.
The small packaging of the NET2272 (6x6mm) is well-suited
for adding Hi-Speed USB to these portable devices. The low
power consumption of the NET2272 facilitates the design of
bus-powered or battery-powered devices. Flexible I/O
voltages (1.8V to 5V) allow the NET2272 to connect
gluelessly to a diverse mix of CPUs and DSPs.
Portable Media Players
The NET2272 is designed into many portable media players
on the market today. Most portable media players contain a
hard disk for media storage, a high-quality LCD display, video
input and output connections, and a Hi-Speed USB port for
data transfer. The NET2272’s small package, high
performance, and low power consumption makes it an ideal
solution for this battery-powered device.
The NET2272 supports Microsoft’s Media Transfer Protocol
(MTP), which allows playback of WMA and WMV files with
Digital Rights Management (DRM). PLX also provides
device firmware supporting the USB Mass Storage standard.
This means that PCs can recognize these devices without
additional host-side drivers.
Application notes showing sample connections between the
NET2272 and various CPUs are available online from the
PLX website. These application notes detail schematics,
timing diagrams, and register settings.

Development Tools
The NET2272 PCI-Based Reference Design Kit
The NET2272 PCI-RDK includes a PCI board that easily
plugs into any standard PCI slot (3.3V or 5V). This PCI board
allows a standard PC to emulate a USB device. With known
good hardware, firmware development can begin even before
the final device is ready. Schematics, layout, and BOM
information is shipped with the kit.
Both USB host and peripheral-side software is included with
the NET2272 PCI-RDK. The host-side software consists of
USB drivers and test applications. The peripheral-side
firmware is used to configure the NET2272 to resemble a
standard USB class device (like a printer or mass storage
device) for which no USB host drivers will need to be written.
For custom applications, firmware APIs are provided to
abstract the USB transactions to reads and writes. While this
software is available for various operating systems, it is
written in standard C with portability in mind. A porting
guide is shipped with each kit.
