"A critical success factor in developing high speed serial data protocols is ramping up on these technologies quickly. We have found that MindShare books, like USB 3.0 Technology, allow engineers to learn new protocols more quickly and efficiently compared to reading the specifications."
- Mike Micheletti - USB Product Manager, Teledyne LeCroy
The third generation of USB increases transfer rates to 5.0 Gbits/s (SuperSpeed) and includes backward compatibility with all earlier USB specifications (1.1/2.0) and speeds (Low Speed, Full Speed, and High Speed) USB 3.0 SuperSpeed protocol also brings significant enhancements in the areas of device and system power conservation, error handling, and data flow control.
SuperSpeed bus instances replace the USB broadcast bus model with directed (unicast) packets. Dual-simplex signaling enables asynchronous device notifications and simplifies link partner communication used in link flow control, packet acknowledgement and retry, and power management transitions.
MindShare's books take the hard work out of deciphering the specs, and this one follows that tradition. MindShare's USB 3.0 Technology book provides a thorough description of the interface with numerous practical examples that illustrate the concepts. Written in a tutorial style, this book is ideal for anyone working with USB technologies.
