GL827S  USB 2.0 Single Slot SD/MMC/MS/xD Card Reader Controller

The GL827S is USB 2.0 Single Interface Flash Card Reader controller. It supports USB 2.0 high-speed transmission to Secure DigitalTM (SD), SDHC, Mini SDTM, Micro SDTM (T-Flash), MultiMediaCardTM (MMC), RS MultiMediaCardTM (RS MMC), MMC Plus, MMC Micro, MMC-Mobile , Memory StickTM (MS), Memory Stick DuoTM (MS Duo), High Speed Memory StickTM (HS MS), Memory Stick PROTM (MS PRO), Memory Stick PROTM Duo (MS PRO Duo ), Memory Stick PRO-HGTM (MS PRO-HG), Memory Stick ROM, MS PRO Micro, and xD-Picture Card TM (xD) on one chip. As a single chip solution for USB 2.0 flash card reader, the GL827S complies with Universal Serial Bus specification rev. 2.0, USB Storage Class specification ver.1.0, and flash card interface specification each.

The GL827S can support different kinds of interfaces in single slot and integrates a high speed 8051 microprocessor and a high efficiency hardware engine for the best data transfer performance between USB and flash card interfaces.

The GL827S pin assignment design fits to card sockets to provide easier PCB layout. 48 Pin LQFP (7mm x 7mm) , QFN28 (5mm x 5mm) and QFN24 (4mm x 4mm) are available package types.

GL831A  SATA to PATA Bridge Controller

The GL831A is a cost competitive, standard SATA/PATA bi-directional bridge controller that compliant to the latest SATA and PATA specifications. The controller integrates Genesys Logic in-house designed SATA PHY that guarantee lowest power consumption and proven system/device compatibility.  GL831A’s on-chip PLL implements slew-rate control mechanism to reduce the EMI issue on PCB level.  A 3.3V to 1.8V power regulator is built-in to reduce system bill-of-material (BOM) cost.  Smaller footprint package - 64-pin LQFP (7x7mm) is available for flexible PCB layout of space limited mechanics such as MID/UMPC applications.

GL850G USB 2.0 Hub Controller

The GL850G is Genesys Logic’s advanced version Hub solutions which fully comply with Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0.  GL850 inherits Genesys Logic’s cutting edge technology on cost and power efficient serial interface design.  GL850G has proven compatibility, lower power consumption figure and better cost structure above all USB2.0 hub solutions worldwide.

GL850G provides multiple advantages to simplify board level design that help achieve lowest BOM (bill of material) for system integrator.  GL850G integrated both 5V to 3.3V and 3.3V to 1.8V voltage drop regulator into single chip, therefore no external LDO required. Also, GL850G’s power enable pin supports both high-enable and low-enable power switch that provides better flexibility on component selection. 

To fully meet the cost/performance requirement, GL850G is a single TT hub solution for the cost requirement. Genesys Logic also provides GL852 for multiple TT hub solution to target on systems which require higher performance for full/low-speed devices, like docking station, embedded system … etc.. Please refer to GL852 datasheet for more detailed information.

*TT (transaction translator) is the main traffic control engine in an USB 2.0 hub to handle the unbalanced traffic speed between the upstream port and the downstream ports.

Established 1997 in Taipei County, Taiwan, Genesys Logic's primary business is the design and research and development of electric circuits, semiconductors, digital communications products, computer peripherals, and other related products. Genesys Logic specializes in high speed I/O technology, specifically USB 2.0 and PCI Express chip technology development. In this area, Genesys Logic is one of Taiwan's most outstanding companies.
Genesys Logic has excellent team R&D, and its various diverse products are all based on its core technology, including high-speed USB 2.0/PCI Express/SATA transfer interface and flash memory interface, allowing for the shared use of R&D resources. IC developed and sold by Genesys Logic are key components of information products. They not only provide a diverse product line, but also provide comprehensive solutions for clients including computer peripheral manufacturers, consumer electronics manufacturers, system manufacturers, and network product manufacturers. In the USB market, Genesys Logic makes use of its own core technology design, aside from computer market applications; Genesys Logic has also applied the technology in consumer electronics and telecommunications products. Genesys Logic also expanded from the success of PCI Express SerDes technology to the rapidly expanding Serial ATA storage applications market, and successfully developed its own low power SATA PHY.

Genesys Logic has accumulated many years of design experience, has the lead position in the market, and its products have received recognition by world-class companies. Most of Genesys Logic's products enjoy shared sales channels with great product sales. In the future, besides diligently developing new products and R&D of new applications, Genesys Logic will continue to nurture American and Japanese markets, and also concentrate on establishing and expanding Mainland China's systems and consumer electronics markets.
