** The USB 2.0 Platform Design Guideline, Rev. 1.0 provides guidelines for integrating a discrete USB 2.0 host controller
onto a four-layer desktop motherboard. The material covered can be separated into three main categories:
• Board design guidelines
• EMI/ESD guidelines
• Front panel USB guidelines
The USB 2.0 Platform Design Guideline also covers some background information on the routing experiments and
testing performed to validate the feasibility of 480 Mbits per second on an actual motherboard. Finally, it contains a
design checklist that lists each design recommendation described in the document.
