PCI Express-PC Card Controller

R5U241

R5U241 Specifications

The R5U241 is a multi-function PCI Express controller that integrates 6 PCI Express functions (1-lane PCI Express to a PC Card, an IEEE1394, 2-slot SD/MMC, a Memory Stick and an xD Picture Card) and a built-in Express Card (USB Interface type) switch into a single chip.
The R5U241 supports most Flash Memory Cards currently in the market, and the R5U241 allows flexibility for system designers to configure systems to interface with multiple Flash Memory Cards. The R5U231 offers the low power consumption at the low power state.

Low Power Consumption

Supporting ASPM function and CLKREQ# enables the reducetion of the power consumption.

Internal Regulator & Power-Switch

Integrated regulator allows 3.3V single power operation.
The integrated MOSFET switch with the short circuit protection (only Combo Slot support) allows direct power control for all of Flash Memory card, and that results in a reduction of BOM (bill of material) cost.

Internal PLL

The optimum frequency for each medias, supplied by an internal PLL, provides a high-performance.

Small Package Easy Layout

Compared to the R5C8xx products, small 144-pin CSP package provides space saving feature.
0.8mm pitch CSP package provides mounting by conventional technology.
The R5U241 is ideal for devices that require miniaturization.
