Data Brief
PRODUCT FEATURES
USB2250/50i/51/51i
Ultra Fast USB 2.0 Multi-Slot
Flash Media Controller
General Description
The SMSC USB2250/50i/51/51i is a USB 2.0 compliant, Hi-
Speed mass storage class peripheral controller intended for
reading and writing to more than 24 popular flash media
formats from the CompactFlash® (CF), SmartMediaTM (SM),
xD-Picture CardTM (xD)1, Memory Stick® (MS), Secure
Digital (SD), and MultiMediaCardTM (MMC) families.
The SMSC USB2250/50i/51/51i is a fully integrated, single
chip solution capable of ultra high performance operation.
Average sustained transfer rates exceeding 35 MB/s are
possible if the media and host can support those rates.
General Features
128-pin VTQFP (14x14 mm) lead-free RoHS compliant
package
Targeted for applications in which single or "combo"
media sockets are used
Supports multiple simultaneous card insertions
Flexible assignment of number of LUNs and how card
types are associated with the LUNs
Hardware-controlled data flow architecture for all self-
mapped media
Pipelined hardware support for access to non-self-
mapped media
Order number with “i” denotes the version that supports
the industrial temperature range of -40ºC to 85ºC
Hardware Features
Single chip flash media controller with non-multiplexed
interface for independent card sockets
