USB ICCD - USBware Components

Jungo's USBware offers an ICCD (Integrated Circuit Card Devices) class driver, tested with leading manufacturers of high-density SIMs, and compliant to:
  • IC-USB v1.0
  • ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute)- ETSI TS 102 600 v7.1.0


Background

"The Inter-chip specification has been a pivotal building block for developers wanting to integrate the USB interface inside mobile applications," said Jeff Ravencraft, USB-IF President. "With the high-speed inter-chip specification, manufacturers can incorporate a solution that will carry benefits directly to the consumer, allowing them to experience improved performance and enhanced battery life. Mobile devices supporting this technology are forecasted to be available in the 2008 time frame and will continue to ramp in 2009."

ICCD—intended for next-generation SIM cards and USB chip-to-chip interconnect—simplifies integration of multiple high speed capabilities, and meets the increasing bandwidth needs of devices like: 3G/4G modems, WiMAX, 802.11n and storage peripherals, as well as other USB-based input devices like keypads and control panels.

The IC-USB permits data transfer at higher bandwidth and with improved power efficiency. It also provides a digital signal interconnect between the systems on chip (SOC) and their IC peripherals, eliminating the need for analog PHYs.

USBware's ICCD stack supports Control A, Control B, Bulk, and Interrupt data transfer.

The new high-density (HD) SIM cards use a logical USB interface (a.k.a. IC-USB) and expose an ICCD, Mass Storage and CDC-EEM interface. ICCD is used for authentication, while CDC is used for browsing and network applications. Jungo's USBware host stack also supports MS and CDC-EEM.

Jungo will later release an updated ICCD class driver that fully supports the next-generation High Speed Inter-Chip (HSIC).

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) provides an expandable, hot-pluggable Plug and Play serial interface that ensures a standard, low-cost connection for peripheral devices such as storage devices, keyboards, joysticks, printers, scanners, modems, and digital cameras.

A USB Class Driver is a Logical Device Driver (LDD), which controls USB devices that provide common functionality and are implemented in compliance with a specific device class.

A USB Function Driver is a driver implemented within a device in order to handle the device-specific functionality of a standard or custom USB device function. This driver provides the counterpart of the USB Class Driver.
