The design for the USB-C connector was initially developed in 2012 by Intel, HP Inc., Microsoft, and the USB Implementers Forum. The Type-C Specification 1.0 was published by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) on August 11, 2014. [3] In July 2016, it was adopted by the IEC as "IEC 62680-1-3". [4] The USB Type-C connector has 24 pins and is ...
The developer forums regulate the development of the USB connector, of other USB hardware, and of USB software; they are not end-user forums. In 2014, the USB-IF announced the availability of USB-C designs. USB-C connectors can transfer data with rates as much as 10 Gbit/s and provides as much as 100 watts of power. [4]
Support for Streams was added to the USB 3.0 SuperSpeed specification, primarily to enable high performance storage operations over USB. Classically there has been a 1:1 relationship between a USB endpoint and a buffer in system memory, and the host controller solely responsible for directing all data transfers.
USB connector interfaces are classified into three types: the many various legacy Type-A (upstream) and Type-B (downstream) connectors found on hosts, hubs, and peripheral devices, and the modern Type-C connector, which replaces the many legacy connectors as the only applicable connector for USB4.
USB-C devices support power currents of 1.5 A and 3.0 A over the 5 V power bus in addition to baseline 900 mA. These higher currents can be negotiated through the configuration line. Devices can also utilize the full Power Delivery specification using both BMC-coded configuration line and legacy BFSK-coded V BUS line. [31]: §4.6.2.1
USB-C cables can carry more power so laptops can be charged faster, and they enable faster data transfer speeds, allowing a big trove of files to be copied from a computer to an external hard drive.
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is an open standard that operating systems can use to discover and configure computer hardware components, to perform power management (e.g. putting unused hardware components to sleep), auto configuration (e.g. Plug and Play and hot swapping), and status monitoring.
Thunderbolt 3, 4, or 5 ports USB-C Thunderbolt 3, 4, or 5 connector. Thunderbolt 3 is a hardware interface developed by Intel. [75] It shares USB-C connectors with USB, supports USB 3.1 Gen 2, [76] [77] [78] and can require special "active" cables for maximum performance for cable lengths over 0.5 meters (1.5 feet). Compared to Thunderbolt 2 ...
