 Nomenclature

O Embedded Host – also Mini Host, a Type A host class product

with fixed capabilities to save cost and complexity

O Peripheral – Device, a Type B class product that requires a host or

embedded host or OTG

O OTG – A Type AB product, a combination of Embedded host and

Peripheral

 On-The-Go Versus Embedded Host

OTG Embedded Host

O Limited host capabilities

O Limited host capabilities

O Posses single role – host

O Possess dual role - host or peripheral

capability to switch between the two O Devices have only Mini-A receptacle

O Devices have Mini-AB receptacle O Does not require Host Negotiation

Protocol (HNP) and optionally

O OTG devices must have Host
support Session Request Protocol
Negotiation Protocol (HNP) and
(SRP)
Session Request Protocol (SRP)
O Do not operate either as hub or full

host as normal host does

 Embedded Host
O Limited resources

O Target Peripheral List

O Must be capable of supplying at least 8mA on VBUS

O High-, Full-, Low-speed may be supported

O Of the 4 USB transfer modes – Mandatory to support Control and could support

Bulk, Interrupt and Isochronous based on target peripheral list

O Example – Set Top box

 USB On-The-Go

O Meeting the requirements of connectivity in

standardized method for small form factor

devices

O Supplement to USB 2.0 specification

O Gives dual role (Host and Peripheral)

capability to the devices and to switch

between the two

O Low power requirements to facilitate USB

on small foot print devices

 OTG – Must have features
O A limited Host capability

O Full-speed operation as a peripheral (high-speed optional)

O Full-speed support as a host (low-speed and high-speed optional)

O Targeted Peripheral List (Device classes)

O Session Request Protocol

O Host Negotiation Protocol

O One, and only one connection: a Micro-AB receptacle

 Mini-AB Connectors
O An OTG device contains a single Mini-AB
receptacle that functions as either a host or a
peripheral e.g. PDA
Mini-AB Receptacle
̶ An OTG device acts as host when Mini-A plug is
inserted

̶ An OTG device acts as device when Mini-B plug is

inserted

O Only Mini-B receptacle is used for devices that Mini-B Receptacle

operate as peripheral only e.g. cameras

O Only Mini-A receptacle is used for devices that

Mini-A Receptacle
operate as embedded host only e.g. set top box
