UPD720201K8-711-BAC-A Renesas USB 3.0 Host Controller USB Interface
The UPD720201K8-711-BAC-A is a third-generation Universal Serial Bus 3.0 host controller LSI developed by Renesas Electronics (formerly NEC), designed to provide high-performance USB connectivity for computing and embedded systems. This device bridges the PCI Express Gen 2 system interface bus to four downstream USB 3.0 SuperSpeed ports, enabling system designers to easily add multi-port USB 3.0 capabilities to platforms equipped with a PCIe bus. Housed in a compact 68-pin QFN package measuring 8mm x 8mm, the UPD720201K8-711-BAC-A is the extended-temperature variant rated for -40°C to +85°C operation (distinguished from the 0°C to +85°C "-701" version). Fully RoHS compliant and Pb-free, this device represents Renesas' commitment to delivering power-efficient, high-throughput USB connectivity solutions for the most demanding environments.
The UPD720201K8-711-BAC-A is ideally suited for a broad spectrum of computing and consumer electronics applications requiring high-speed USB 3.0 connectivity. Primary markets include desktop and laptop computers, tablets, servers, and PCI Express add-in cards. The device is also extensively employed in digital TVs, set-top boxes, Blu-ray Disc players and recorders, media players, digital audio systems, projectors, and multi-function printers. Additional applications include storage devices, routers, network-attached storage (NAS) systems, and embedded platforms where the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range of the "-711" variant provides reliable operation in industrial and harsh environments.
