Reference Designs

The TUSB9261DEMO board is a free-standing reference design that acts as a bridge between a SuperSpeed USB (USB 3.0) bus and a Serial–ATA (SATA) device. The TUSB9261DEMO is used to evaluate system compatibility. It provides a TUSB9261 hardware reference design for connection to a SATA device such as a solid state drive: hard disk drive: DVD drive: or Blu-Ray drive. The included firmware is capable of supporting a single SATA drive and supports the following: USB Attached SCSI (UAS)USB Mass Storage Class (MSC) Bulk-Only Transport (BOT) including the 13 error cases.USB Mass Storage Specification for BootabilityUSB Device Class Definition for Human Interface Devices (HID) for firmware update and manufacturer-specific custom functionalitySerial ATA Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI)General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for LED dimming controlSerial Peripheral Interface (SPI) for updating firmware and loading custom device descriptorsSerial Communications Interface (SCI) for debug output onlyThe board works with the LINUX: MAC: and Windows native Mass Storage Class Drivers.
