Hi.

   

Im looking at the feasibility of using a PSoC 3 device for a project of mine. I need to be able to communicate with a USB Webcam (USB Device). So can I configure the USB in the PSoC3 device to function as a USB Host? All the application notes have used the USB in the PSoC3 as a usb device. So is the host controller not part of the PSoC3 package?

   

If the USB cannot function as a host, can you suggest some alternatives? Is there a way I can work around this and still use the PSoC3?

   

Also, are there any PSoCs available which support high speed USB?

   

Thanks in advance.

   

Regards,

   

Karthik

Hi,

   

 

   

PSoC3 / 5 can act as USB device (Full Speed) but not as USB Host.

   

At present there is no family of PSoC which can act as a USB Host.
