 Are you looking for a wireless USB 2 solution to improve product lifetime and cost by removing expensive cables, connectors and rotating joints? Are you interested in removing USB connectors from wearable and ruggedised devices? Well, ST has developed such a USB 2 contactless connectivity solution, supporting 360 degree rotation, requiring no pairing and enabling connectorless waterproof devices. It is called the ST60H3 and it is an RF emitter and receiver IC operating in the 60 GHz band, which supports not only a USB 2 but also GPIO, UART and I2C RF links. As you can see, the ST60H3H1 is a compact solution fitting into a 3x4mm package and includes an integrated antenna, effectively saving space on your PCB and simplifying integration. This USB 2 webcam module seamlessly connects to a PC with standard drivers, offering 360 degree rotation, actually ST60 supports high speed rotation above 1000 RPM. Upon placement on the docking station, the camera module is immediately powered up by wireless charging and a USB 2 connection is established via ST60H3. With the ST60H3, the contactless link is short-range, point-to-point, 408 Mbps, ultra low power and has short propagation delays. Unlike other wireless technologies, such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, no pairing is required with ST60. The RF link is created as soon as ST60 detects a mate nearby and triggers instant seamless streaming video from the camera module. The ST60 can be associated with other USB devices, like the storage key. As you can see, this USB key module has no USB connector. Indeed, it is possible to remove the connector by using BOS wireless power and ST60H3 data link. This enables you to create waterproof USB devices, such as external storages, wearables, watches, personal electronics or ruggedized equipment. To sum things up, ST60H3 enables USB 2 RF links without pairing, supports 360 degree rotation and unleashes design of waterproof devices. Now, if you want to get started quickly with ST60H3, the SKL5010 USB 2 contactless kit from our partner EPS can be ordered online.
