Digitalization via USB 20Gbps for AI, imaging and emerging applications

Connecting the analog realm with EZ-USB™ FX family

For over a decade, EZ-USB™ FX3 has played a critical role in machine learning applications, being the gold-standard building block providing USB 5Gbps connectivity to machine vision cameras, spectrum analysers and many high-bandwidth data acquisition systems. With the growing digitalization of the real world driven by AI, the demand for databases and higher-speed interfaces has been rocketing in all industries.

Since 2021, Infineon, as the USB market leader, has invested tens of millions of dollars into the development of the next-generation general-purpose USB peripheral controllers. After three years of development, EZ-USB™ FX20, with up to 600% higher performance than its predecessor, is finally here to deliver USB 20Gbps performance for AI, imaging and emerging applications.
