Spiro,
I had ordered 2 samples of this part as well as 2 VBUS controllers from
Maxim last year. I have not had a chance to use them yet, but read the
documentation pretty thuroughly.
My application was to interface USB flash drives with a uC. I stumbled
on the vinculum series of products by FTDI. They have firmware on their
page for mass storage driver and FAT16/32 filesystem access. This
essentially makes the vinculum chip a file-server which can handle 2
files open at the same time. They are $12 US in single quantities from
their web shop. I have 2 on hand, but again haven't done much with them
yet.
If your application is similar, I would recommend checking it out.

Subject: MAX3420E/MAX3421E USB chips
Hello,
does anyone here have any info about the MAX3420E and/or MAX3421E USB
chips by Maxim? Did anyone ever use one of them?
The MAX3420E is an USB Device:
MAX3420E: http://www.maxim-ic.com/quick_view2.cfm/qv_pk/4751
The MAX3421E is an extension of the 3420. It can be used as a USB
controller, too:
MAX3421E: http://www.maxim-ic.com/quick_view2.cfm/qv_pk/3639
What about prices, availability? Maxim lists < $4 per 1.000 for the
MAX3421E. What are end-user prices in smaller quantities?
Regards,
Spiro.
