It provides raw data transfer of 10 Gbit/s, and it also reducing line encoding overhead to just 3%. The use of USB 3.1 doubles the speed of data transfer when compared to USB 3.0. USB 3.1: USB 3.1 is also known as SuperSpeed+. may have the USB symbol with 'SS' added, i.e. The move to USB 3 saw a change in the data encoding from Unicode to 8b/10b encoding. Notice the blue insert on the connector that generally indicates USB 3 The standard is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0. Although the USB3 raw throughput is 4 Gbit/s, data transfer rates of 3.2 Gbit/s, i.e.0.4 GByte/s more after protocol overhead are deemed acceptable within the standard. The major feature is what is termed the SuperSpeed bus, which provides a fourth transfer mode which gives data transfer rates of 4.8 Gbit/s. USB 3.0: The USB3 standard was first demonstrated at the Intel Developer Forum in September 2007.

When compared to USB 1, this provided a much needed improvement in current capability. This enabled USB to provide charge for smartphones that were increasingly charging faster and also for more power hungry peripherals such as external drives, etc. In addition to the improvements in data capability USB 2 also saw an increase in the power provision to 1.8A. The data encoding method for this version of USB is Unicode.

However it should be noted that even though devices are labelled USB 2.0, they may not be able to meet the full transfer speed. The main difference when compared to USB 1.1 was the data transfer speed increase up to a 'High Speed' rate of 480 Mbps. USB 2.0: The USB 2.0 standard is a development of USB 1.1 which was released in April 2000. USB 1.1 does not allow extension cables or the inclusion of pass-through monitors (due to timing and power limitations). The cable length for USB 1.1 is limited to 5 metres, and the power consumption specification allows each device to take up to 500mA, although this is limited to 100mA during start-up. The data transfer rates of USB 1.1 are defined as:

This meant that devices would be cheap and readily accessible. One of the aims of the USB standard was to minimise the complexity within the device by enabling the Host to perform the processing.

The master or 'Host' device was normally a PC with the slaves or 'Devices' linked via the cable. It provided a Master / Slave interface and a tiered star topology which was capable of supporting up to 127 devices and a maximum of six tiers or hubs.

USB1.1: This was the original version of the USB, Universal Serial Bus and was released in September 1998 after a few problems with the USB 1.0 specification released in January 1996 were resolved. It is possible to also ook att he performance of the different versions of USB 3, understand the notation and compare the performance, for example of USB3.0 (Gen1) vs USB 3.1 (Gen2) and also look at what Superspeed, Superspeed+ and the like and how they perform. USB type A connector showing USB logo Wired USB standardsД«y looking at each of the USB standard in turn it is possible to see the performance of each one and compare USB1 vs USB 2, USB2 vs USB3 and so forth. The USB Implementers Forum develops and maintains the USB standards, including Wireless USB and runs a compliance programme to maintain the quality of USB products and ensure compatibility between devices. Some of the member companies for the USB-IF include companies such as Hewlett Packard, Intel, LSI Corporation, Renesas, Microsoft, etc. This is a non-profit corporation that has been founded by the companies that developed the USB standard and now want to use and develop it. In order to ensure that USB is an industry standard and not one that is a standard for a particular manufacturer, the USB standard is developed and maintained by the USB Implementers Forum, USB-IF. Typical USB Flash memory stick USB Implementers Forum It is sometimes useful to compare USB1, vs USB 2, or USB2 vs USB3 etc looking at the different capabilities and specifications of each USB version.

#Universal bus port upgrade#

With the use of USB being so widespread, backwards compatibility as far as is possible is very important, along with a future upgrade path. Like any successful standard, USB, Universal Serial Bus has kept pace with technology and the standard has been updated seeing USB 1, USB 1.1, USB2, USB3 and then USB 3.1, USB 3.2 and then USB 4.Д®ach successive USB standard has added more to the technology, improving and refining the performance.
