Transdimension achieves USB-IF high-speed certification of USB on-the-go controller

IRVINE, Calif., September 30, 2005 - TransDimension, a leading provider of USB connectivity solutions for embedded applications, today announced that its TD1120 single-chip USB OTG high-speed peripheral and full-speed host controller successfully completed the USB Integrator's Forum (USB-IF) High-Speed certification testing. The TD1120 is the industry's first single chip USB On-the-Go (OTG) controller that incorporates a full-speed host and high-speed peripheral, thus enabling embedded systems to operate as both a host and a peripheral simultaneously.

"Achieving high-speed certification for the TD1120 validates our design and engineering efforts, and demonstrates our ongoing dedication to provide the most complete, high performance USB connectivity solution for our customers," said Paul Liu, TransDimension's director of marketing. "It also gives our customers a high degree of confidence in their products' maximum interoperability with other USB products in the market."

The TD1120 is the third generation of OTG controllers offered by TransDimension and is optimized for a broad range of high performance and low power mobile and consumer applications. It is ideal for applications requiring high-speed peripheral connectivity such as portable media players, cellular phones, MP3 players, PDAs and GPS devices.

Certification testing was completed at the USB-IF Compliance Workshop in Milpitas, California on September 16, 2005.

About USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) Compliance Workshop

The USB-IF Compliance Workshop provides a forum for the leading USB OTG integrators to meet and perform supervised testing of OTG dual-role devices against OTG electrical and protocol compliance programs. Designed to complement the specification and enable measurement of compliance in real products, the USB-IF has instituted a compliance program that provides rigorous measures of acceptability. Products that pass this level of acceptability are added to the Integrators List and have the right to license the USB-IF logo.
