UFX6000-VE

Specialized Overview

The UFX6000-VE is a single-chip USB 2.0 Hi-Speed graphics adapter manufactured by Microchip Technology, formerly SMSC. It integrates a USB 2.0 Device Controller with an on-chip PHY and supports data rates up to 480 Mbps. The device features a comprehensive graphics subsystem including an integrated HDMI/DVI controller compliant with v1.3/v1.0 standards, a triple 10-bit Video DAC for VGA output, and a Digital RGB interface supporting resolutions up to 2048x1152 (QWXGA). It utilizes a JEDEC-compliant DDR2 SDRAM controller with a 16-bit data bus and 13-bit address bus for frame buffering. The component operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and is housed in a 225-ball LFBGA package.

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current documentation to confirm package type and environmental compliance. Ensure that the procurement channel provides valid traceability for the Microchip Technology part number. Confirm that the received components match the specified RoHS compliance and halogen-free requirements outlined in the official datasheet before integration into production.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires a unified solution for USB 2.0 host-to-device graphics transmission without internal expansion slots. Consider the integrated DDR2 controller if external memory buffering is preferred over internal SRAM limitations. Evaluate the supported resolution limits and interface types against the target monitor specifications to ensure compatibility with the required display technology.

Specialized Part Context

This component belongs to the SMSC UFX6000 series of USB graphics controllers, which was acquired by Microchip Technology. The UFX6000-VE specifically denotes the version packaged in a 225-ball LFBGA suitable for commercial temperature ranges. It serves as a bridge between USB hosts and various display technologies, replacing discrete controller and PHY combinations in compact form factors.

Specialized Replacement Considerations

The UFX6000-VE-TR is a functionally equivalent variant offered in a reel packaging format instead of trays. Designers requiring tape-and-reel processing should verify pinout and electrical parameter consistency with the -VE tray version before substitution.
