PP6580 : USB 2.0 SD/MMC Host Controller

General Description

PP6580 is a high speed USB2.0 device that implements the host function for SD card and the analog switch for accessing external other SD card. When the SD card data is to be transferred from PC via USB cable, PP6580 can transfer the SD data with high speed rate.
If an external application (Mobile) wants to access SD/Micro SD/MMC card through PP6580, without changing application firmware, it can easily access SD/Micro SD/MMC card directly only by changing the internal analog switch to be embedded.
This function has great merit that reduces the development time with minimizing efforts to modify the existing component and software when a new product including SD host function is to be developed.
The USB2.0 product with SD host function can be implemented in very short time easily.
