Faraday Solution, Your Fastrack to USB3.0!

Equipped with largest IP portfolio, experienced and robust ASIC design capabilities, and the partnership with leading players in industry, Faraday crew now is ready to serve you aiming at all USB3.0 applications.

Faraday has in the lead launched USB3.0 semiconductor solutions with seamless integration of controller and PHY/ transceiver, which can be attributed to Faraday's accumulated technology/ experiences at high-speed IO and the strategic partnership with Fresco Logic, one of the worldwide leading team for USB3.0 controller, and the recommended vendor for compliance test. Faraday's USB3.0 solution, with the maximum speed of 5.0Gbps, targets fast sync-and-go transfer applications conveying large files and requiring high-speed data transfer capabilities.

According to In-Stat report, April 2008, the expected compound annual growth rate for USB3.0 from 2009-2012 is over 100%, reaching over 500 million devices in year 2012. SuperSpeed USB is poised to become the most pervasive high-speed connectivity technology over the coming years.

The market tank is attractive, but timing is especially critical in the fierce competition arena. To accelerate customers' time-to-market and time-to-profit, in addition to USB3.0 solutions, Faraday also serves you with largest and self-developed IP portfolio to help lower the design and integration risk, such as FA CPU, PCIE, H.264 codec, etc, for your quick penetration into embedded markets, PC and peripheral, and communication/mobility segments.
