Introduction of USB:
• USB stands for Universal Serial Bus and it is the most
commonly used external peripheral device connection
standard for computers and other computer-like devices.

• Computers use USB ports to interface with devices like

mouse, keyboards, external hard drives, printers, scanners,
smartphones and cameras. 
• USB ports allow USB devices to be connected to each other
with and transfer digital data over USB cables.
• They can also supply electric power across the cable to
devices that need it.
• For example, a cell phone connected
to a computer with a USB cable can
both interface with the computer and
charge its battery.
• Both wired and wireless versions of the USB standard exist,
although only the wired version involves USB ports and
cables.

Features of USB 3.0:
• Simple connectivity and cables and connectors
• One interface for many devices
• Automatic configuration and no user settings
• Hot pluggable(adding or removing a device without shutting
down of the operating system)
• Reliability
• Low power consumption
• Flexibility
• Expandability
• Low cost
• Superior speeds
USB 3.0 Connectors:

• USB 3.0 will offer backward compatibility.

• USB 3.0 cables are now 9-wired, instead of the previous 4,
and have modified connectors.
• Dimensions remain the same. USB 3.0 functionalities are
provided when the added signal lines become connected.
USB 3.0 Architecture:
• USB 3.0 is a physical super speed bus combined in parallel
with a physical USB 2.0 bus.
• The USB 3.0 Super Speed bus is having a layered
communication architecture that is having main three
elements,
Host: That is used to initiate transfer.
Hubs: These are for interconnection of 1 or more devices.

Devices: That respond to transfer.

Layers of USB 3.0:
• Functional Layer
• Protocol Layer
• Link Layer
• Physical Layer
Super Speed Communication Layers:
 States and Responsibilities of LTSSM:
 The USB3.0 specification organizes the twelve high level LTSSM states into
four functional groups
– Operational States: U0, U1, U2, U3.
– Link Initialization & Training States: Rx.Detect, Polling, Hot Reset,
Recovery.
– Testing States: Compliance Mode, Loopback.
– Other States: SS.Inactive, SS.Disabled.
 The core responsibilities of the LTSSM includes
– Link Training & Initialization
– Power Management
– Error Recovery

Conclusion:

• The LTSSM must inform all the layers before opening or closing the gates
for data transaction so as to save the device from unnecessary resending or
loss of data. Each signal has its own significance and functionality. These
signals have been designed up to the USB 3.0 specification’s directions
and requirements
• The LTSSM also performs operations for making the link ready for data
transaction in the very beginning when the device is plugged in. Hence
LTSSM is the “DATA FLOW GATEWAY CONTROL” for the device
