Arrival Electronics has announced a USB KVM switch SoC from ASIX. The AX68004 is a highly integrated single chip and low-cost solution ideally suited for cable/desktop KVM Switch and KVM extender applications.
Compared with legacy chipset solutions, the AX68004 single chip solution has the advantages of a power management unit with deep sleep mode, manufacture driver for USB device in console – transparent to computers, same mouse sample rate on PC and device sides, integrated DDC (Display Data Channel) Emulation and EDID (Extended Display Identification Data), support for four USB downstream ports in console, up to 7 USB devices in console (HID, Hub, MSC, Audio), and supporting touch screen, touch pad, and writing pad.
The AX68004 features a single-cycle pipelined 8051/80390 core (up to 96MIPS), 128KB Flash memory, and 32KB RAM. The AX68004 also integrates 4 multi-addressable Device Controllers (compliant with USB Spec 2.0 Full speed), one USB host controller and one USB root hub that supports four downstream ports and each is compliant with USB2.0 Full/Low speed. The AX68004 supports peripheral communication interfaces such as I²C, two SPI bus, two UART (with one supporting 921.6Kbps), two PS/2 host, and 32 GPIOs. In addition, the AX68004 supports cascade interface for 8 and 16-port USB KVM switch application.
