Universal Serial Bus (USB)

The USB standard defines a bus product that requires a host controller and enables plug- and-play connectivity. The most recently released final specification, USB 2.0, defines high speed and allows complete backward compatibility with USB 1.1.

USB products fall into three categories: hubs, host controllers and peripherals. USB 1.1 sup- ported speeds of up to 12 Mbps and cables up to 5 meters long for these devices. USB

2.0extends the connection speed to 480 Mbps to support next-generation peripherals of higher-performance PCs and applications. USB 2.0 officially defines three speeds: low (1.5 Mbps), full (12 Mbps) and high (480 Mbps). The lowest speed is ideal for human interface devices such as a mouse, game pad or keyboard; while full speed is well suited for “data dumps” to the PC via digital still cameras, PDA cradles and flash-card readers. Modems, printers, scanners and storage drives are just a few of the items that can take advantage of USB’s highest speed specification.

The USB On-The-Go (OTG) supplement to USB

2.0specifies a new class of devices aimed at the portable market. USB OTG defines devices that can operate as standard USB peripherals when connected to a standard USB host controller.

However, these same devices can operate as reduced-function host controllers to support selected USB OTG peripheral devices. End-equipment manufacturers can specify what type of peripherals their devices will support when in OTG host mode. This new specification allows easy sharing of contact information between USB OTG PDAs and cell phones or printing of photographs directly from an OTG- enabled digital still camera without a PC.

Technical Information

Speed

•The USB 2.0 standard defines three speeds: low speed (LS) 1.5 Mbps, full speed (FS) 12 Mbps and high speed (HS) 480 Mbps. It requires full backward and forward compatibility for devices and

cables. All three modes offer both asyn- chronous and isochronous (real-time) data transmission over a simple and inexpensive 4-wire cable to meet requirements of peripherals including keyboards, mice, printers, speakers, scanners, external storage devices and digital still cameras.

Transfer Type

•USB 2.0 defines four types of transfers: bulk, control, interrupt and isochronous. Bulk transfer is intended for applications such as printers, scanners and mass storage, where latency isn’t critical but accuracy is. All devices must include control transfers for configuration. Interrupt transfer is for devices such as mice, keyboards and game pads that must receive the host’s or device’s attention periodically. Isochronous transfer offers guaranteed delivery time but no error- checking or automatic retransmission of data received with errors, making it the better choice for audio or video applications.
