USB features
Universal Serial Bus, or USB, was introduced in 1996. It dramatically simplified the connection between host computers and peripheral
devices like mice, keyboards, external drivers, and printers.
Table 1. USB evolution
Type Data Transfer Rate Category Introduction Year
USB 2.0 480 Mbps High Speed 2000
USB 3.2 Gen 1
(previously USB
3.0/USB 3.1 Gen 1)
5 Gbps SuperSpeed 2010
USB 3.1 Gen 2 10 Gbps SuperSpeed Plus 2013
USB 3.2 Gen 1 (SuperSpeed USB)
For years, the USB 2.0 has been firmly entrenched as the de facto interface standard in the personal computer world with about 6 billion
devices sold, and yet the need for more speed grows by ever faster computing hardware and ever greater bandwidth demands. The USB
3.0/USB 3.1 Gen 1 finally has the answer to the consumers' demands with a theoretically 10 times faster than its predecessor. In a nutshell,
USB 3.2 Gen 1 features are as follows:
• Higher transfer rates (up to 20 Gbps).
• Increased multilane operation of 10 Gbps each.
• Increased maximum bus power and increased device current draw to better accommodate power-hungry devices.
• New power management features.
• Full-duplex data transfers and support for new transfer types.
• Backward compatibility with USB 3.1/3.0 and USB 2.0.
• New connectors and cable.
The topics below cover some of the most commonly asked questions regarding USB 3.0/USB 3.2 Gen 1.
