AN2720SC-01

Specialized ICS Overview

The AN2720SC-01 is a single-chip USB-to-USB networking solution manufactured by Cypress Semiconductor Corp. Designed for direct host-to-host communication, this integrated circuit eliminates the need for external controllers or hubs in dual-machine data transfer applications. The device operates within a surface-mount configuration, housed in a 32-TQFP (7x7) package with bulk packaging. It functions as a specialized interface IC, enabling peer-to-peer connectivity over standard USB ports without requiring additional network infrastructure.

Specialized ICS Feature Summary

Specialized ICS Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix SC-01 against official Cypress documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics. Ensure the 32-TQFP package dimensions match the target PCB footprint. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's current datasheet, as legacy variants may differ.

Specialized ICS Selection Notes

Select this component when designing a system requiring direct USB link between two hosts without intermediate hardware. Compare the 32-TQFP form factor against available board space. Verify that the application software supports the specific driver requirements for the AN2720 series to ensure proper enumeration and data throughput.

Specialized ICS Part Context

This part belongs to the AN2720 family of USB networking controllers. These devices were developed to simplify peer-to-peer USB connections by integrating all necessary logic into a single die. The SC-01 variant specifies the particular package and revision details for manufacturing and assembly purposes.

Specialized ICS Replacement Considerations

Check for updated Cypress or Infineon equivalents if the AN2720 series is discontinued. Verify functional compatibility regarding USB protocol support and package pin assignments before substituting with other single-chip USB networking solutions.
