USB enumeration is the process of detecting, identifying, and loading the correct software drivers for a USB device.ĭuring the enumeration process, the host and its driver automatically detect whether or not a USB 3.0 path exists to each device, and the driver configures the host controller to use the USB 2.0 path if a working USB 3.0 path is not found (or if the device doesn’t support USB 3.0 SuperSpeed at all).
The only way to achieve USB 3.0 SuperSpeed operation, however, is for the host port, the device, all intervening hubs, and all connecting cables to be designed for USB 3.0 operation, with an unbroken USB 3.0 pathway from host to device. Likewise, USB 2.0 hubs can be used instead of USB 3.0 hubs, or vice versa, allowing USB 2.0 data flow at USB 2.0 speeds. Conversely, a USB 2.0 cable can be used with USB 3.0 ports to allow USB 2.0 data flow at USB 2.0 speeds. The main mechanical incompatibility arises when attempting to use a USB 3.0 cable for a USB 2.0 device, due to the physical size of the USB 3.0 Standard-B plug on a USB 3.0 cable. The additional pins are arranged mechanically so a USB 2.0 connector or cable can be used in place of a USB 3.0 connector or cable in nearly all cases to allow USB 2.0 data traffic (at USB 2.0 speeds) even if there is no available path for USB 3.0 SuperSpeed traffic. The additional pins and wires for USB 3.0 include SuperSpeed Transmit (SSTX+, SSTX–), SuperSpeed Receive (SSRX+, SSRX–), and an additional ground (GND). Separate data paths are used for USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 traffic. The USB 3.0 system architecture topology supports up to five hub tiers.
Within the hub, only the port power control logic is shared between the USB 3.0 path and the USB 2.0 path, since there is only one 5-V power path in either USB 2.0 or USB 3.0.įigure 2. The USB 3.0 SuperSpeed path operates at a raw bit rate of 5.0 Gbits/s, while the USB 2.0 path operates at 480 Mbits/s (High Speed), 12 Mbits/s (Full Speed), or 1.5 Mbits/s (Low Speed). There are physically separate pins in the connectors and separate wires in the USB 3.0 cable for USB 3.0 SuperSpeed traffic and USB 2.0 traffic.

A complete USB 2.0 hub is encapsulated within the complete USB 3.0 + 2.0 hub, with simultaneous parallel data paths for USB 3.0 SuperSpeed traffic and USB 2.0 High Speed, Full Speed, or Low Speed traffic.
2) but add USB 3.0 support internally in addition to USB 2.0 support (Fig. USB 3.0 hubs preserve this basic tier topology (Fig.

A typical PC may have USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 connections to USB devices via an external USB 3.0 hub. The ports on the PC are known as “root ports,” and the root ports are designated as “tier 1.” Tiers 2 through 6 represent additional levels made possible by hubs, and tier 7 is the final level of devices supported by a hub at Tier 6.įigure 1. The total bandwidth of the downstream ports together can’t be greater than the bandwidth available on the upstream port. There are typically four downstream ports on each hub, but other numbers of ports on a hub are possible as well. With the second hub connected to the first, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 allow up to five levels of hubs to be cascaded together (Fig. To obtain the speed and power benefits of USB 3.0, the hubs and interconnecting cables will all also need to be USB 3.0 compliant, including USB 2.0 support for USB 2.0 devices. Connecting two hubs into the topology enables support for all of the additional USB devices, and there may even be some USB ports still available for more devices. The USB 2.0 ports might be used for a USB keyboard and USB mouse, but the user may have far more than two additional USB devices to connect to the PC at the same time, and many of those might be capable of USB 3.0 operation.

But what can USB 3.0 users do when they need more USB 3.0 ports than their PC or docking station provides? External USB 3.0 hubs are the answer.ĭownload a special PDF version of this article, which is exclusive only to Electronic Design community members.Ī typical host PC might have two USB 2.0 ports and two USB 3.0 ports. These benefits are achieved while maintaining functional and mechanical compatibility with USB 2.0 devices, hubs, and host ports. Market acceptance of USB 3.0 has been increasing steadily because of its many advantages over USB 2.0, including far higher speed (up to 5-Gbit/s raw bandwidth), higher power availability (up to 900 mA per port), and better power management through more levels of power reduction when maximum power isn’t needed.
