THE UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS

ARJUN C C
ROLLNO 9

 INTRODUCTION
• A serial bus standard to connect devices to
a host computer.
• Designed to allow many peripherals to be
connected using a single standardized
interface socket.
• Designed to improve plug and play capability.
• The design of USB is standardized by the USB
Implementers Forum (USB-IF).
 USB 3.0
• It is the upcoming version of USB.
• Super speed architecture.
• But still backward compatible.
 HISTORY
•The USB 1.0 specification was introduced in
1994. (12 Mbit/s)

•The USB 2.0 specification was released in

April 2000 and was standardized by the
USB-IF at the end of 2001(480 Mbit/s,)

• The USB 3.0 specification was released on

November 17, 2008 by the USB 3.0
Promoter Group.

 COMPONENTS

• HUB

• HOST

• DEVICE
 COMPONENTS
HUB

The hub provide electrical interface between

USB device and the host
It provide device connect and disconnect
detection
provides bus fault detection
It provide support to both super speed and
USB 2.0 device
 COMPONENTS
HOST
It also include super speed and normal
speed buses which works simultaneously.
The host interact with device by the help of a
host controller.
There are some root downstream port,
through these ports it controls both the
control flow and data flow.
The ports also help to provide power to the
attached devices.
 COMPONENTS
PERIPHERAL DEVICE
A USB peripheral device must support both
super speed and non-super speed bus
In order to perform data transfer all devices
will be assigned by an address from host
Identifying and assigning unique address to
the device is called enumeration
Simultaneous operation of super speed and
non-super speed modes are not allowed for
peripheral devices

FEATURES
DATA TRANSFER RATES
• Low speed - 1.5 Mbit/s

• Full speed - 12 Mbit/s

• High speed - 480 Mbit/s

• Super speed - 5.0 Gbit/s

 OTHER FEATURES

Backward compatible.
Plug and play capability.
Higher Power Supplied to the USB Devices.
(100miliamps to 900 milliamps)
Lower Power Consumption by the USB
Devices
It can drive more devices (single hub 4
devices)
Full- duplex data transfer
It support hot swapping
COMPARISONS
 USB 3.0 vs FIREWIRE
USB 3.0 is more faster than fire wire S3200
(4.8Gb/sec and 3.2Gb/sec)
FireWire is capable of delivering more power
over a single cable than USB 3.0
FireWire also allows for cable runs of up to
100 meters
peer-to-peer nature in firewire USB is
master/slave
Unlike USB, FireWire ports are typically
available only via add-in cards or on certain
higher-end motherboards
 USB 3.0 vs USB 2.0

The two series shares the common things

like plug and play,backward comparability
etc.
Even the appearance is same for an ordinary
user
USB 3.0 is about 10 times faster than 2.0
3.0 Can provide more power for the devices
Unlike 2.0, USB 3.0 does not support the 1.1
version which is now old.
 USB 3.0 vs USB 2.0

USB 2.0 has 5 pins but the newer version

was introduced with 9 pins.
The inner side of 2.0 was appeared to be
in white or gray or black, but for 3.0 it is
blue.
The USB 3.0 cable is a little thicker than
the USB 2.0 cable.
The USB 3.0 support about 3 mtr but the
2.0 can support 5 mtr
 APPLICATIONS

It an connect a verity of devices such as

flash drive,key boards,mouses,video
cams,ipods etc.
With the new version(3.0) it can support
portable hard disk drives.
It can also be used to provide power for low
power conception devices
The new version support high speed copying
 CONCLUSION
first USB3.0 enabled motherboard was
introduced by ASUS named P6X58 on 29 july
 CONCLUSION
Since the newer version of USB ie the
3.0 support high speed, it will be
replacing many connectors in future.

Because of the backward comparability it will

be in the next coming computers and
pen drives

By the end of 2009 the USB 3.0 will be in

market

The driver is already given for Linux OS.
