U disk and SD card high speed file management control chip CH378

Overview

CH378 is a file management control chip for fast reading and writing of files in U disk or SD card. CH378 supports USB device mode and USB host mode, and has built-in basic firmware of USB communication protocol, built-in firmware for processing the dedicated communication protocol of Mass-Storage mass storage device, built-in communication interface firmware of SD card, built-in FAT16 and FAT32 and FAT12 file system management firmware, support common USB storage devices (including U disk / USB hard disk / USB flash disk / USB card reader) and SD card (including standard capacity SD card and high-capacity HC-SD card and protocol compatibility) MMC card and TF card).

CH378 supports three communication interfaces: 8-bit parallel interface, SPI interface or asynchronous serial interface. The controller such as MCU/DSP/MPU can control the CH378 chip through any of the above communication interfaces, access the files in the U disk or SD card or Communicating with a computer.

The following figure shows the application block diagram of CH378.

Features
