NXP Semiconductors LPC5500 Series Reference manual

1 Introduction

1.1 Dual-USB introduction

LPC4300 series, LPC54000 series, and LPC5500 series, contain the feature

called dual-USB interface. The feature helps to set the LPC portfolio apart from

its competitors. Most of these parts, such as, LPC5500 series, has High-Speed

(HS) USB and Full-Speed (FS) USB with on-chip PHY. The dual-USB parts

provide up to 480 Mbit/s throughput, which can meet high-speed data transfer

requirement for any MCU application.

Unlike the competitors with only FS USB PHY, the dual-USB parts contain both

FS and HS on-chip PHY, which can greatly reduce design complexity.

The dual-USB interface enables numerous interesting and useful applications, as seen on LPC5500 MCU Series.

1.2 USB history, standard, and speed definition

USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF), a non-profit organization that maintains the USB documents and compliance programs,

regulates the USB. The USB specification has undergone multiple revisions.

1. USB 1.0 was finalized in January 1996. The original specification only included supports for two speeds:

• Low-Speed (LS): Supported 1.5 Mb/s

• Full-Speed (FS): Supported 12 Mb/s

2. USB 1.1 was developed in 1998. In this revision, some clarifications and improvements were added to the USB 1.0

specification.

3. USB 2.0 was released in April 2000 and the next major change occurred. In this revision, a new speed, High-Speed

(HS), was added to the specification. The speed was up to 480 Mb/s. This specification revision is backward-compatible

with USB 1.1 and 1.0.

4. USB 3.0 was announced in November 2008 and the same backward compatibility was maintained. This revision

provides the speed up to 5 Gb/s. With USB 3.0 came a new physical connector as well.

5. More recently, USB-IF announced the plans for USB 3.1, when the speed will increase up to 10 Gb/s.

2 Why high-speed USB

The performance enhancement of HS USB depends on new features on USB 2.0 standard.

2.1 Lower latency in interrupt transfer

1 ms frame rate, in FS/LS USB, is used for a number of purposes, such as, scheduling access to the bus and working as a

timing reference for interrupt and isochronous transfers. For HS, a higher frame rate was introduced, while still maintaining a

relationship with the existing 1 kHz rate. HS uses the

Microframes

which are 125 us long (eight

Microframes

per millisecond).

The correspondence with the 1 ms frame numbering is maintained in the HS SOF packets by repeating each frame number in

eight successive

Microframes

. HS possibly specifies up to three isochronous or interrupt transfers per

Microframes

. FS, with one

transfer per frame, provides maximum isochronous or interrupt transfer rate of 192 Mb/s.

Figure 3. HS USB uses Microframes to increase throughput

2.2 Larger packet length

See Table 2 for LS, FS, and HS maximum packet size.

2.3 Example for USB HID mouse application

Most on-market USB mouses use 125 Hz update rate which can meet general requirements. But when entering the field of e-sport

gaming mouse, 125 Hz update rate is not fast enough.

USB mouse uses USB HID class (interrupt transfer). Figure 4 shows a typical on-market FS USB mouse latency.

A1 is the time when the mouse button is pressed and A2 is the time when USB sends the HID report to PC. As seen in Figure 4,

the latency can be large as 6 ms (125 Hz report rate). In worst scenario, the latency can reach 8 ms.

Figure 4. FS HID mouse latency between button press and USB send data

With the same test for HS USB, the report rate configures to maximum 8 kHz and the latency is 119 us. In worst scenario, the

latency is only 125 us.

Figure 5. HS HID mouse latency between button press and USB send data

The interrupt transfer interval can also be seen from USB data lines signal:

• In FS USB: the minimum interrupt transfer interval is 1 ms.

• In HS USB: the interrupt transfer minimum interval can reach 41.6 us (125/ 3 us, see Lower latency in interrupt transfer).

In most use cases, 125 us interval is fast enough.

This section provides a hands-on guide to help you start to evaluate USB demo with SDK. Let us take the LPC55S69 as example.

LPC55S69 EVB board has four USB mini connectors: P10, P5, P9, P6.

For more details about this board, see Getting Started with the LPC55S69-EVK Evaluation Board.

3.1 USB stack configurations

3.1.1 Enable/disable dual USB ports

To switch between USB0 (FS) and USB1 (HS). Change the macro in usb_device_config.h.

• To enable/disable USB1, change USB_DEVICE_CONFIG_LPCIP3511HS to 1/0.

• To enable/disable USB0, change USB_DEVICE_CONFIG_LPCIP3511FS to 1/0.

3.2 Hardware connection

• For USB0 (FS) demo, connect P10 to PC.

• For USB1 (HS) demo, connect P9 to PC.

• To download and debug firmware, connect P6 to PC.

• If you have three USB cables, it is OK to connect all three USB connectors to PC.

• Suggest connecting USB port to PC USB port directly, not via USB hub.

3.3 USB device example

3.3.1 HID mouse example

Demo project location:

\boards\lpcxpresso55s69\usb_examples\usb_device_hid_mouse

The HID transfer interval is controlled in the bInterval filed in the endpoint descriptor.

For FS/LS interrupt endpoints, the value of this field may be from 1 to 255.

• Change the FS_HID_MOUSE_INTERRUPT_IN_INTERVAL value in usb_device_descriptor.h.

For example:

#define FS_HID_MOUSE_INTERRUPT_IN_INTERVAL (0x02U)

Change the FS HID transfer interval to 2 ms.

For HS interrupt endpoints, the bInterval value is used as the exponent for a 2 ^(bInterval-1) value. This value must be from

1 to 16.

• Change HS_HID_MOUSE_INTERRUPT_IN_INTERVAL value in usb_device_descriptor.h.

For Example, a bInterval of 6 means a period of (2^(6-1)) = 32 *125 us = 4 ms.

#define HS_HID_MOUSE_INTERRUPT_IN_INTERVAL (0x06U) /* 2^(6-1) = 4ms */

Change the high-speed HID transfer interval to 4 ms.

If the bInterval value changes, the mouse movement speed changes too. Also, when using HS ports, you can configure to

bInterval 1 to reach 125 us frame interval.

• For FS ports, the minimum frame interval is 1 ms.

• For HS ports, the minimum frame interval is 125 us.

See Example on USB gaming mouse for details.
