 What is USB
 USB stands for Universal Serial Bus
 Provides an expandable, fast, bi-directional, low
cost, hot pluggable Plug and Play serial hardware
interface
 Allows users to connect a wide variety of
peripherals to a computer and have them
automatically configured and ready to use
 Implemented to provide a replacement for legacy
ports to make the addition of peripheral devices
quick and easy for the end user
 HISTORY
 There have been three versions released prior to 3.0
› USB 1.0 in January 1996 – data rates of 1.5 Mbps and
12 Mbps
› USB 1.1 in September 1998 – first widely used version
of USB
› USB 2.0 in April 2000
 Major feature revision was the addition of a high speed
transfer rate of 480 Mbps
› All versions are backwards compatible with previous
versions of USB
 KEY FEATURES
 Single connector type
› Replaces all different legacy connectors with one well-
defined standardized USB connector for all USB
peripheral devices
 Hot swappable
› Devices can be safely plugged and unplugged as needed
while the computer is running (no need to reboot)
 Plug and Play
› OS software automatically identifies, configures, and
loads the appropriate driver when connection is made
 High performance
› USB offers data transfer speeds at up to 480 Mbps
 Expandability
› Up to 127 different peripheral devices may
theoretically be connected to a single bus at one time
 Bus-supplied power
› USB distributes the power to all connected devices,
eliminating the need for an external power source for
low power devices (flash drives, memory cards,
Bluetooth)
 Easy to use
› The single standard connector type simplifies the end
user’s task of figuring out what plug goes into what
socket
› Automatic driver loading does all the work for the end
user
 Low cost
› The host handles most of the protocol complexity,
making the design simple and having a low cost
 USB Now
 The next generation of USB hardware and
specifications is USB 3.0
 Version was announced by Pat Gelsinger at the
Intel Developer Forum in September 2007
 USB 3.0 Promoter Group announced in
November 2008 that version 1.0 has been
completed
USB 3.0
Upgrade from USB 2.0
Backwards compatible
Nicknamed SuperSpeed USB because of the
significant speed improvements over existing
USB specifications
New communication protocols for devices
New transfer modes
New power management features
Longer maximum cable lengths
Similar to PCI Express 2.0 technology
 USB 3.0 Overview
 Also referred to as SuperSpeed USB
 Speeds 10x faster than 2.0 (5 Gbps in controlled test environment)
 Transfer of 25 GB file in approx 70 seconds (see chart)

 Extensible – Designed to scale > 25Gbps

 Optimized power efficiency
 No device polling (asynchronous notifications)
 Lower active and idle power requirements

 Backward compatible with USB 2.0

 USB 2.0 device will work with USB 3.0 host
 USB 3.0 device will work with USB 2.0 host
 BUS ARCHITECTURE
 USB 3.0 is a physical SuperSpeed bus combined
in parallel with a physical USB 2.0 bus.
 The baseline structural topology is the same as
USB 2.0
 The USB 3.0 connection model accommodates
backwards and forward
compatibility for connecting USB 3.0 or USB 2.0
devices into a USB 3.0 bus
 The USB 3.0 connection model allows for the
discovery and configuration of USB devices at the
highest signaling speed supported by the device
 The dual bus architecture
 USB 3.0 MECHANICAL

USB 3.0 cables have eight primary conductors

Two twisted signal pairs are used to provide the
SuperSpeed data path, one for the transmit path and one
for the receive path.

Fig: Layers and Power Management Elements
 PHYSICAL LAYER
The physical layer defines the PHY portion of
a port

The physical connection between a downstream

facing port
(on a host or hub) and the upstream facing port
on a device.

The nominal signaling data rate is 5 Gbps

 LINK LAYER
 A SuperSpeed link is a logical and physical
connection of two ports
 The connected ports are called link partners
 The link layer defines the logical portion of a
port and the communications between link
partners.
 PROTOCOL LAYER
 This protocol layer defines the “end-to-end”
communications rules between a host and device
 The SuperSpeed protocol provides for
application data information exchanges between
a host and a device endpoint.
 It is a host-directed protocol
 SuperSpeed is not a polled protocol
 Robustness
 Signal integrity using differential drivers,
receivers, and shielding
 CRC protection for header and data packets
 Link level header packet retries to ensure their
reliable delivery
 End-to-end protocol retries of data packets to
ensure their reliable delivery

vs. USB
Characteristic USB 2.0 USB 3.0
Data Rate Low-Speed (1.5 Mbps), Full-Speed (12 Mbps), and SuperSpeed - about 5.0 Gbps
High Speed (480 Mbps)
Data Interface Half-duplex two-wire differential signaling, Dual-simplex, four-wire differential
unidirectional data flow with negotiated directional signaling separate from USB 2.0 signaling;
bus transitions simultaneous bi-directional data flows
(Full Duplex)
Cable Signal Count Two for low-speed/full-speed/high-speed data path Six – four for SuperSpeed data path, two
for non-SuperSpeed data path
Bus Transaction Protocol Host directed, polled traffic flow; packet traffic is Host directed, asynchronous traffic flow;
broadcast to all devices packet traffic is explicitly routed
Power Management Port-level suspend with two levels of entry/exit Multi-level link power management
latency, supporting idle, sleep, and suspend states
device–level power management
Bus Power Support for low/high bus-powered devices with Same as USB 2.0 with a 50% increase for
lower power limits for un-configured and un-configured power and 80% increase for
suspended devices configured power, about 900 milliamps
Port State Port hardware detects connect events; system Port hardware detects connect events and
software uses port commands to transition the port brings the port into operational state ready
into an enable state (i.e., can do USB data for SuperSpeed data communications
communications flows)

Configured High Power 500mA 900mA

 USB 3.0 vs. Other Standards

• FireWire 800 has a maximum data transfer rate of

800 Mbps
• eSATA bus a maximum data transfer
rate of 3.2 Gbps
Example:
Intel demonstrated transfer of a 25 GB HD movie in
70 seconds using a USB 3.0 bus versus the USB 2.0
transfer time of about 4 hours
 USB 2.0 vs. USB 3.0 –Hardware
