The NEC μPD720200 is a high-speed USB 3.0 host controller that enables fast data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps. As one of the first widely adopted USB 3.0 solutions, it supports backward compatibility with USB 2.0/1.1 devices and complies with the xHCI (eXtensible Host Controller Interface) specification. Designed for integration in PCs and motherboards, the μPD720200 improves performance for external storage, media devices, and peripherals, making it a key component in early USB 3.0 adoption.
