Key Feature:Low Power

• Single 3.3V supply operation with integrated 1.8V regulator– 1.8V core logic results in low operating current: ~ 80mA operational

Icc– Compliant with USB enumeration specification: < 100mA

enumeration Icc

• Power conservation mode– Compliant with USB bus power requirement of <500uA for bus-

powered drives during suspend

• Cable-powered 5&10 GB HDDs have been demonstrated by combining the TUSB6250 with a 1.8” HDD– All power supplied via the cable - no battery assist necessary

Key Feature:Value Added Architecture

• Integrated 60 MHz 8051 WARP processor– 30 MIPs (2 clocks per instruction)– 40KB Configurable RAM shared between application code space and data buffer space– 12 GPIO pins for customer customization– Enables the flexibility to modify the code on demand

• Compliant with the USB Mass Storage Specification, including the Host/Device Data Transfer Matrix (The Thirteen Cases)

– Elimination of hang conditions– No possibility of data loss – Zero data corruption

• Tolerant of ATA & ATAPI drive operational abnormalities, including– Random data request lengths– Random pause/terminates/requests– A tolerant and flexible architecture allows drive manufacturers to get to market fast with the

drive of your choice• USB 2.0 High–speed compliant device

– Supports a total of 8-input and 8-output endpoints– Supports Control, Bulk, and Interrupt transfers– Supports USB Suspend/Resume and remote wakeup operation

Key Feature:ATA/ATAPI Interface

• Glue-less interface to ATA/ATAPI drives with full ATA/ATAPI protocol support– ATA-66 (ATA–4) compliant– ATA-100 (ATA–5), ATA–133 (ATA–6) compatible– 48-bit LBA => supports ultra-large (>128GB) HDDs

• Fully programmable ATA/ATAPI interface access timing• Tri-state and 5V failsafe ATA/ATAPI I/Os

– ATA/ATAPI drive can be powered down during bus enumeration to enable cable-powered drives

– ATA/ATAPI Interface is tri-stated during enumeration, protecting sensitive drive I/Os

• Dual drive support - simultaneous support for ATA master and slave

Software

APPLICATION FIRMWARE• The TUSB6250DEMO board comes populated with an

EEPROM that has firmware that allows the demonstration board to support a single ATA or ATAPI drive.

– This standard build’s HEX file can be downloaded at:• www-s.ti.com/sc/psheets/sllc252/sllc252.zip

– In addition to the standard firmware build, there are many additional builds available for specific applications. Contact usb@ti.com for additional information on what is available.

– This source code (developed in the Tasking environment) is available by contacting usb@ti.com and providing the following information:

• Legal Company Name• Physical address of #1 (not a PO Box)• Name, Phone, e-mail, fax of company representative who

will be responsible for the code• Company Website

• To modify/create your own FW, a compiler will be necessary.

– The TUSB6250 is based upon the industry-standard 8051 microcontroller for which there are several compilers on the market that would be suitable. Some examples are at:

• www.iar.com • www.keil.com• www.tasking.com

OPERATING SYSTEM DRIVERS• Typical usage assumes utilization of the USB Mass

Storage Class Driver (MSC).– Native support included in WinME, Win2K, WinXP,

MAC 9.x, MAC 10.x, and Linux 2.4.x & 2.6.x Production Kernels.

– Win98SE driver available in the “TUSB6250 Win98SE Mass Storage Class Driver” Software Tool Folder

• focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/tusb6250win98msc.html

– For more information on class drivers, refer to the USB Implementers Forum website at www.usb.org

• If a class driver will not be acceptable for the given application, a custom driver will need to be written.

– One option would be the DDKs from Microsoft/Apple– A second option would be a package like the Jungo

WinDriver (www.jungo.com) Application.

DEVELOPMENT UTILITIES• TUSB6250 EEPROM Programming Utility

– www-s.ti.com/sc/psheets/sllc220/sllc220.zip– A tool that allows you to update an already-

programmed EEPROM with a new firmware build over USB.

• Blank EEPROM Programmer– A tool that will allow you to program a blank on-board

EEPROM over USB.– This tool will release in 3Q05.

• I2C Header Generator Utility– www-s.ti.com/sc/psheets/sllc250/sllc250.zip– DOS-based tool that generates an image file for your

I2C EEPROM using your binary object code as input.
