Technically Speaking
®
USB.
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) hardware (plug-and-play)
standard makes connecting peripherals to your computer easy.
USB 1.1, introduced in 1995, is the original USB standard.
It has two data rates: 12 Mbps for devices such as disk drives
that need high-speed throughput and 1.5 Mbps for devices
such as joysticks that need much lower bandwidth.
In 2002, a newer specification, USB 2.0, or Hi-Speed USB
2.0, gained wide acceptance in the industry. This version is
both forward- and backward-compatible with USB 1.1.
It increases the speed of the peripheral to PC connection
from 12 Mbps to 480 Mbps, or 40 times faster than USB 1.1!
This increase in bandwidth enhances the use of external
peripherals that require high throughput, such as CD/DVD
burners, scanners, digital cameras, video equipment, and
more. USB 2.0 supports demanding applications, such as
Web publishing, in which multiple high-speed devices run
simultaneously. USB 2.0 also supports Windows XP through
a Windows update.
An even newer USB standard, USB On-The-Go (OTG), is
also in development. USB OTG enables devices other than a
PC to act as a host. It enables portable equipment— such as
PDAs, cell phones, digital cameras, and digital music players—
to connect to each other without the need for a PC host.
USB 2.0 specifies three types of connectors: the A connect-
or, the B connector, and the Mini B connector. A fourth type
of connector, the Mini A (used for smaller peripherals such
as mobile phones), was developed as part of the USB OTG
specification.
