1 A Type-C port that sources power over VBUS, the USB bus wire used for system power 2 A Type-C port that sinks power from VBUS



Ethernet Ports Are Out, USB Type-C Ports Are InSlim industrial designs are making bulky Ethernet ports obsoleteThe RJ451 port is 9.85-mm high

The Macbook Air scrapped the Ethernet port in 2012; Ultrabooks and Chromebooks are following suit

The new 2.56-mm USB Type-C port will make today’s 5.1-mm USB 3.0 Type-A port even smaller

Customers still want Gigabit Ethernet connectivityIncreasing network traffic (e.g., 4K video, HD iTunes movies) is driving the continued need for Gigabit Ethernet

Neither 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet nor 300-Mbps Wi-Fi provides enough bandwidth for Gigabit Ethernet

USB 3.0 is emerging as the interface of choice for Gigabit Ethernet connectivityUSB 3.0 delivers 5.0 Gbps bandwidth, which is sufficient for Gigabit Ethernet applications

All new PCs have USB 3.0 ports; soon they will have USB Type-C ports

USB Type-C enables sleek designs with Gigabit Ethernet connectivity

Design Problems Engineers Face1. A custom driver is required for every operating system (OS)There is no standard USB Ethernet device class available

2. Conventional USB 3.0 to GigE bridge controllers lack the throughput of PCIe-based GigE controllersConverting GigE data packets to USB 3.0 data packets reduces the throughput of conventional USB 3.0 to GigE bridge controllers to around 700-800 Mbps

3. Managing the Power Policies of both USB 3.0 and GigE standards is difficultA USB 3.0 to GigE solution must support both USB 3.0 low-power modes and IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet

Cypress’s GX3 solves these problems by providingComprehensive driver support for all major OSs, including Windows 8.x/7/XP, Mac OS, Linux, Android and Chrome

Throughput of 910-Mbps, comparable to the 950-Mbps throughput of PCIe-based GigE solutions

A low-power solution that complies with both USB 3.0 and GigE power policies

GX3 is a low-power, high-throughput USB 3.0 solution that easily adds GigE connectivity to any system

GX3 Minimizes the Throughput Loss of Converting GigE Data to USB DataGX3’s unique data transfer mechanism transmits multiple Ethernet data packets1 in a single USB packet2 and multiple USB packets in a single USB microframe3

Ethernet data packets are merged intoa Supersize Ethernet data packet4

GX3’s 910-Mbps throughput exceeds the 805 Mbps of competitive GigE-over-USB 3.0 solutions and it is comparable to the 950-Mbps throughput of PCIe-based Ethernet solutions
