Let MindShare Bring USB 2.0 to Life for You
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) provides for an easy connection of external peripheral devices to PCs. USB devices currently available include input devices (e.g., keyboards and mice), a wide variety of mass storage devices, and even video cameras. The original versions of USB (1.0 and 1.1) defined transmission rates of 1.5 Mb/s (Low Speed) and 12Mb/s (Full Speed). The latest version of the USB specification (version 2.0) provides major improvements in performance (60Mb/s transmission rates) as well as the ability to support more devices simultaneously. USB 2.0 also provides backward compatibility to 1.0 and 1.1 USB devices.
The host PC originates all communication with the peripheral devices on the USB bus and consequently USB does not support direct peer-to-peer transfers. A separate specification called USB On-the-Go was introduced to permit point-to-point communication between USB devices, thereby eliminating the need for a host system. For backward compatibility, On-the-Go devices can also operate normally in a host-based USB environment.
