4 Technology and components USB features Universal Serial Bus, or USB, was introduced in 1996. It dramatically simplified the connection between host computers and peripheral devices like mice, keyboards, external drivers, and printers. Let's take a quick look on the USB evolution referencing to the table below. Table 4. USB evolution Type Data Transfer Rate Category Introduction Year USB 3.0/USB 3.1 Gen 2 5 Gbps Super Speed 2010 USB 2.0 480 Mbps High Speed 2000 USB 3.0/USB 3.
• • • An additional physical bus that is added in parallel with the existing USB 2.0 bus (refer to the picture below). USB 2.0 previously had four wires (power, ground, and a pair for differential data); USB 3.0/USB 3.1 Gen 1 adds four more for two pairs of differential signals (receive and transmit) for a combined total of eight connections in the connectors and cabling. USB 3.0/USB 3.1 Gen 1 utilizes the bidirectional data interface, rather than USB 2.0's half-duplex arrangement.
the new protocol, the connector itself remains the same rectangular shape with the four USB 2.0 contacts in the exact same location as before. Five new connections to carry receive and transmitted data independently are present on USB 3.0/USB 3.1 Gen 1 cables and only come into contact when connected to a proper SuperSpeed USB connection. Windows 8/10 will be bringing native support for USB 3.1 Gen 1 controllers.
