Overview

The SL11RIDE is a low-cost, high-speed Universal Serial Bus RISC-based Controller board. It contains a 16-bit RISC processor with built-in SL11RIDE ROM to greatly reduce firmware development efforts. Its serial flash EEPROM interface offers low-cost storage for USB device configuration and customer product specific functions. New functions can be programmed into the I2C by downloading them from a USB Host PC. This unique architecture provides the ability to upgrade products, in the field, without changing the peripheral hardware.

Features of SL11RIDE

• Two-wire serial EEPROM (I2C) interface port, with SL11RIDE ROM firmware support, to allow on board flash EEPROM programming

• Supports 12-MHz/48-MHz external crystal or clock

• 6Kx8 internal Mask ROM with built-in BIOS

• Supports up to the maximum USB transfer rate of 12 Mbits/sec

• Power source requires only 3.3V, and it can be powered via a USB host PC or a Hub

• Resume, Suspend, and Low-power modes are available

• Includes the necessary firmware to function as a USB to IDE/ATAPI controller
