These provides beneficial information for designing USB system with NEC USB controllers.
USB Technical Overviews
For basic information of USB technologies, refer the USB Technical Overview, including USB-IF, Microsoft and Intel site.
Reference Design and Peripheral devices
For Crystal OSC, NEC asked following Company that fixed parameters on our Reference Design.
In the system validation, NEC could not found any EMI problems even without the Common Mode Chokes. But EMI will be generated cause of PCB patterns, electric parts and its installation. NEC has evaluated for the system cooperated with the company as following,

Debugging Environment
In the first step of developing USB system, it is important to debug and analyze the electricity problems; noise, disorder of signaling waveform, critical fault of packet sequence. As well as developing USB system software driver, very important to confirm if the packet issues or respond as exact timing. NEC are going to develop our products with the following Maker's analyzer, scopes.
LeCroy Corporation is the second largest digital oscilloscope manufacturer in the world and acquired Computer Access Technology Corporation (former CATC) in October 2004. LeCroy provides total solutions for USB and other serial data analysis from physical to application layer such as Serial Data Analyzer(SDA) and protocol analyzers.
Ellisys is a Test & Measurement company committed to the design and timely introduction of advanced protocol analyzers for USB, Certified Wireless USB and WiMedia Ultrawideband. By providing hardware, firmware, software and test engineers with the right tools at the right time, Ellisys enables markets to grow in a secure and confident manner, and ensures a rapid and wide acceptance of these technologies.
USB Compliance Information
Designed USB products must be passed through USB-IF's "Compliance Program". ( The products which has "passed", will get "LIPS" advantage.)
In order to complete the USB Compliance Program, there is two way of examination, one is to participate to "Plug Festa" event, and another is to get a commission by "Test Labs" for your products. "Plug Festa" will be held 3 or 4 times in every year, but it cannot always participate to the event as the number of companies which can participate is restricted.
Test site always is received the compliance test works with a fee.
11KB)USB 2.0 driver for embedded OS
Embedded system using NEC's Host Controller (µPD720100A/720101) must use USB2.0 driver software for the system's embedded OS.
About Wipro Technologies
The USB2.0 driver for embedded OS, such as µITRON and VxWorks, has been supported by Wipro Technologies.
About eSOL Corporation
Also eSOL Corporation supports the USB2.0 driver for embedded OS (µITRON,VxWorks,etc.) with NEC Electronics' Host Cotroller.
About Wind River
Wind River USB enables developers to quickly incorporate standard USB connectivity in VxWorks-based embedded devices and their attached peripherals.
Wind River USB supports version 2.0 of the USB specification, providing support for UHCI, OHCI and EHCI as well as incorporating low, full and high speed data rates.
USB 2.0 is included in Wind River Platform for Consumer Devices, Platoform for Industrial Devices and Platoform for Network Equipment. For more detail, please contact Wind River.
In developing these USB 2.0 driver stacks, NEC's host controller was used as a standard EHCI controller in the USB host controller market.
