USB (Universal
Serial
Bus)
designed
to
connect
peripherals
such as mice,
keyboards,
scanners,
digital
cameras,
printers, hard
disks,
and
networking
components
to PC. It has
become
the
standard
connection
method
f or
wide variety of
devices.
Universal
Serial
Bus (USB) is a

specif icat ion

to
est ablish
communicat ion
bet ween
devices
and
a
host
cont roller
(usually
personal comput er).
Nowdays USB has
replaced a variet y
of
earlier
PC
int erf aces (such as
RS-232 serial or
parallel port ). Due
t o t he abilit y t o
supply power t o t he
preipheral devices
USB is of t en used
as a power charger
f or
port able
devices.
An USB syst em

connect ed devices.
Addit ional USB hubs
may be included
allowing branching

T he USB connect or

t hemselves. A given
segment of t he bus
is
specif ied
to
deliver up t o 500
mA. T his is of t en
enough t o power
several
devices,
alt hough
t his
budget must be
shared among all
devices

downst ream of an
unpowered hub. A
bus-powered
device may use as
much of t hat power
as allowed by t he
port it is plugged
int o.
Bus-powered hubs
can cont inue t o

but
t he
USB

only
allows f or a single

disallows

hubs
include

power
supplies which will

Devices t hat need

USB power usage:
Bus-powered

Draw Max 100 mA.

High power, buspowered f unctions:

Self -powered hubs:

is 0.35 V f rom it s

must be able t o
