is written to the FIFO along with each received packet. Therefore, a minimum space of
(Largest Packet Size / 4) + 1 must be allocated to receive packets. If multiple isochronous
endpoints are enabled, then at least two (Largest Packet Size / 4) + 1 spaces must be
allocated to receive back-to-back packets. Typically, two (Largest Packet Size / 4) + 1
spaces are recommended so that when the previous packet is being transferred to the CPU,
the USB can receive the subsequent packet.
Along with the last packet for each endpoint, transfer complete status information is also
pushed to the FIFO. Typically, one location for each OUT endpoint is recommended.
Transmit FIFO RAM allocation: the minimum RAM space required for each IN Endpoint
Transmit FIFO is the maximum packet size for that particular IN endpoint.
Note: More space allocated in the transmit IN Endpoint FIFO results in better performance on the
USB.

Receive FIFO RAM allocation
Status information is written to the FIFO along with each received packet. Therefore, a
minimum space of (Largest Packet Size / 4) + 1 must be allocated to receive packets. If
multiple isochronous channels are enabled, then at least two (Largest Packet Size / 4) + 1
spaces must be allocated to receive back-to-back packets. Typically, two (Largest Packet
Size / 4) + 1 spaces are recommended so that when the previous packet is being transferred
to the CPU, the USB can receive the subsequent packet.
Along with the last packet in the host channel, transfer complete status information is also
pushed to the FIFO. So one location must be allocated for this.
Transmit FIFO RAM allocation
The minimum amount of RAM required for the host Non-periodic Transmit FIFO is the
largest maximum packet size among all supported non-periodic OUT channels.
Typically, two Largest Packet Sizes worth of space is recommended, so that when the
current packet is under transfer to the USB, the CPU can get the next packet.
The minimum amount of RAM required for host periodic Transmit FIFO is the largest
maximum packet size out of all the supported periodic OUT channels. If there is at least one
Isochronous OUT endpoint, then the space must be at least two times the maximum packet
size of that channel.
Note: More space allocated in the Transmit Non-periodic FIFO results in better performance on
the USB.
30.14 USB system performance
Best USB and system performance is achieved owing to the large RAM buffers, the highly
configurable FIFO sizes, the quick 32-bit FIFO access through AHB push/pop registers and,
especially, the advanced FIFO control mechanism. Indeed, this mechanism allows the
