Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What are the main differences between the USB3320C and USB3300?
A: The two differ in interface type and application targeting . The USB3320C uses the UTMI+ interface , while the USB3300 uses the ULPI interface . They are compatible with different host architectures. The UTMI+ interface is more suitable for legacy or custom USB controllers, while the ULPI interface, with its fewer pins and higher integration, is more commonly used in modern MCUs or SoCs.
Furthermore, the USB3320C offers superior power consumption and interference immunity , making it suitable for power-sensitive or high-reliability applications such as portable devices and industrial control systems.
Q2: Does it support OTG dual-role?
A: Yes . The USB3320C can switch between Host and Device modes via configuration pins . It supports OTG (On-The-Go) dual-role functionality and can dynamically switch roles based on the USB topology during system operation. It is widely used in embedded terminals, tablets, and communication devices.
