GL816E

The GL816E is a highly integrated, flexible application USB 2.0 Multi-Interface Flash Card Reader controller. It supports USB 2.0 high-speed transmission to CompactFlash^TM (CF) Type I/II, Micro Drive, Secure Digital^TM (SD), Mini SD^TM, MultiMediaCard^TM (MMC), RS MultiMediaCard^TM (RS MMC), Memory Stick^TM (MS), Memory Stick Duo^TM (MS Duo), High Speed Memory Stick^TM (HS MS), Memory Stick Pro^TM (MS Pro), Memory Stick Pro^TM Duo (MS Pro Duo) Memory Stick ROM, SmartMedia^TM (SM) 5V/3.3V, and xD-Picture Card^TM (xD) on one chip. Besides the flash card interface controller each, the GL816E integrates Genesys Logic own design USB 2.0 high-speed UTMI (USB 2.0 Transceiver Macrocell Interface) transceiver. As a single chip solution for USB 2.0 multi flash card reader, the GL816E complies with Universal Serial Bus specification rev. 2.0, USB Storage Class specification ver.1.0, and flash card interface specification each.

The GL816E can support different kinds of multi-interface combinations. For the best performance
consideration, the GL816E integrates high efficiency card interface hardware engine for data transfer, and the 48MHz feature-enhanced 8051 micro-controller. The GL816E also supports firmware upgrade via USB interface, and external flash read/ write for firmware upgrade and other applications.

The GL816E pin assignment design fits to card sockets to provide easier PCB layout. With two package types, the 128-pin LQFP (14mm x 14mm) and the 128-pin PQFP (14mm x 20mm), the GL816E can fit your various design in both standalone and PC embedded USB 2.0 multi-interface flash card reader/ writer applications.
