Let MindShare Bring USB 3.0 to Life for You

The third generation of USB increases transfer rates to 5.0Gbits/s (SuperSpeed), a greater than 10 fold increase in performance over the high-speed performance of USB 2.0 (480Mbits/s). USB 3.0 is also backward compatible at both the device and system level -- USB 3.0 devices work in 2.0 platforms and USB 2.0 devices work in USB 3.0 platforms. USB 2.0 is implemented as a subset of the USB 3.0 environment, however this course focuses only on the SuperSpeed portion of the specification. 

USB 3.0 also replaces the broadcast bus with a unicast solution that directs packets to only the target device, thereby making it possible to conserve power on the cable segments currently not being used. In addition, USB 3.0 devices use asynchronous notifications that eliminate the need for device polling. Improved protocol and power management are also among the new features of the USB 3.0 solution that are detailed in this course.
