USB 3.2 Protocol Overview
Learn about the need for USB 3.2, how the protocol can help your design achieve its need for speed, what target applications the latest protocol applies to, and the changes that will happen to particular layers, including the physical layer, link layer, and hub.
USB 3.1 Protocol Overview
Get an in-depth look at the USB 3.1 changes to the specification layers, including the physical layer (Type-C connector, repeaters), link layer (new encoding schemes and traffic classes), protocol layer (multiple INs), and hub (extra buffering and packet arbitration).
Why USB 3.0?
Understand the drivers behind the development of faster USB technology.
USB 3.0 Overview
This session introduces basic USB design concepts and the new features in USB 3.0 that designers need to understand. The session describes cables, connectors, how USB products work together, and how USB is architected as a bus.
USB 3.0 Functional Layer
View this session for an explanation of how USB stacks and drivers structure data to be handled by the protocol layer hardware.
USB 3.0 Protocol Layer – Part I
This session describes the different packet types, how they are organized, and how they are used in IN and OUT transactions.
USB 3.0 Protocol Layer – Part II
This session explains how the USB control, bulk, interrupt, and isochronous transfers are handled. The new USB 3.0 streaming feature is also explained in detail.
USB 3.0 Link Layer
This session explains how the link layer manages the port-to-port flow of data between the host and the device.
USB 3.0 Physical Layer
This session explains how the USB 3.0 electrical layer encodes digital data for transmission over a cable and decodes analog data into digital data for the link layer.
Configuring DesignWare USB 3.0 Controller as a Host
