"The certification of the products combining Faraday's USB 3.0 PHY with device controller represents our capability to offer the complete and reliable USB 3.0 solutions, especially in the connection of PHY/controller interface, " said Steve Wang, Chief Strategy Officer at Faraday. "From the second half of this year, USB 3.0 acceptance has been escalating obviously. In both host and device, Faraday's certified solutions can fulfill our customers' current and future applications, and have poised for playing one of the most major roles in the entire product chain."

Faraday's USB 3.0 device controller was certified in the USB-IF workshop held in Taipei , Taiwan at the end of September, 2010.
