OVERVIEW
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.
