Let MindShare Bring USB 3.0 to Life for You

The third generation of USB increases transfer rates to 5.0Gbits/s (SuperSpeed) and includes backward compatibility with all earlier USB 1.1/2.0 Low-Speed, Full-Speed, and High-Speed peripherals and hubs. USB 3.0 SuperSpeed protocol also brings significant enhancements in the areas of device and system power conservation, error handling, and data flow control.

SuperSpeed bus instances replace the USB broadcast bus model with directed (unicast) packets. Dual-simplex signaling enables asynchronous device notifications and simplifies link partner communication used in link flow control, packet acknowledgement and retry, and power management transitions.
