Overview:
USB is the most successful peripheral interconnect and is heavily adopted in consumer electronics and PC peripherals. USB 3.0 is the next revolution in the wired USB market. The primary goal of USB 3.0 is to keep the same ease of use and flexibility that users have become comfortable with, but at a much higher data rate of 5Gbps. The other major goal of the USB 3.0 specification is the power management which is very important for "Sync & Go" applications that need to maintain long battery life.
USB 3.0 is expected to begin shipping as discrete silicon in 2009, and broad deployment of USB 3.0-enabled products is expected in 2011.
In this webinar, geared towards demystifying USB3.0 for engineers, we will cover the following:
- USB 3.0 and why it is relevant?
- USB 3.0 Architecture and Benefits
- USB 3.0 vs USB2.0 Comparison
- Early Applications and usage models
