GL3233T
Overview

GL3233T is a USB 3.1 Gen 1 Single-LUN card reader controller and targets for the application which require operating temperature -40°C to 85°C. It can support various types of memory cards, such as Secure DigitalTM (SD), SDHC, miniSD, microSD (T-Flash), MultiMediaCardTM (MMC), RS-MMC, MMCmicro, MMCmobile, Memory StickTM (MS), Memory Stick DuoTM (MS Duo), High Speed Memory StickTM (HS MS), Memory Stick PROTM (MS PRO), Memory Stick PROTM Duo (MS PRO Duo), Memory Stick PRO-HGTM (MS PRO-HG), MS PRO Micro and xD-Picture CardTM on one chip. It also supports SDXC and Memory Stick XC high density memory cards (capacity up to 2TB) and high speed SD3.0 UHS-I memory cards.

 

The GL3233T integrates a high speed 8051 microprocessor and a high efficiency hardware engine for the best data transfer performance between USB and various memory card interfaces. It supports ISP (In System Programming) for firmware upgrade into the external SPI Flash via USB port. It also integrates 5V to 3.3V and 3.3V to 1.2V regulators and power MOSFETs which can reduce the system BOM cost.
