USB was designed to standardize the connection of peripherals to personal computers, both to exchange data and to supply electric power. It has largely replaced interfaces such as serial ports and parallel ports and has become commonplace on various devices.
Instead of six fixed profiles, power supplies may support any maximum source output power from 0.5 W to 100 W. The USB Power Delivery specification revision 3.0 defines an optional Programmable Power Supply (PPS) protocol that allows granular control over V BUS output, allowing a voltage range of 3.3 to 21 V in 20 mV steps, and a current ...
Note the five additional pins on the underside of the tongue of the USB 3.0 port. Additional power for multiple ports on a laptop PC may be obtained in the following ways: Some ExpressCard-to-USB 3.0 adapters may connect by a cable to an additional USB 2.0 port on the computer, which supplies additional power.
USB4 Gen3x2 cable (40 Gbps) with 100 W Power Delivery. Universal Serial Bus 4 (USB4), sometimes erroneously referred to as USB 4.0, is the most recent technical specification of the USB (Universal Serial Bus) data communication standard. The USB Implementers Forum originally announced USB4 in 2019.
The idle line state is when the device is connected to the host with a pull-up on either D+ (for full speed USB 1.x) or D− (for low speed USB 1.x), with transmitter output on both host and device is set to high impedance (hi-Z) (disconnected output). A USB device pulls one of the data lines high with a 1.5 kΩ resistor.
It is also used on USB-C docks designed to connect a device to a power source, external display, USB hub, and optional extra (such as a network port) with a single cable. These functions are sometimes implemented directly into the display instead of a separate dock, [ 82 ] meaning a user connects their device to the display via USB-C with no ...
Quick Charge is a proprietary technology that can charge battery-powered devices, primarily mobile phones, at power levels exceeding the 7.5 watts (5 volts at 1.5 amps) supported by the USB BC 1.2 standard, using existing USB cables. The higher voltage available allows more power (watts) to be supplied through wires without excessive heating.
A four-port "long cable" "external box" USB hub A four-port "compact design" USB hub: upstream and downstream ports shown. A USB hub is a device that expands a single Universal Serial Bus (USB) port into several so that there are more ports available to connect devices to a host system, similar to a power strip. All devices connected through a ...
