USB 3.0 Overview What is USB 3.0? USB 3.0 is a new specification for USB, known as USB SuperSpeed. The new specification has made many improvements over the USB 2.0 specification. A few of the major improvements is the increased data transfer rate and power. The speed of USB 3.0 surpasses existing USB specifications, eSATA, and IEEE-1394 (FireWire), making it an ideal solution for external data storage media. What you should know? • Currently there are only a limited number of USB 3.0 devices on the market, primarily external storage devices. • External solid state media can now reach full read and write potential using this new specification and hardware. • It is important to note, that overhead from protocol, hardware limitations, and chipset limitations prevent file transfer at a true 4.8 Gbps. The actual "real world" achievable rate is called the throughput, and is approximately 600 Mbps. • It is also important to note that USB 3.0 utilizes new connector types. These new connectors will not fit into older USB 2.0 & 1.1 devices; however USB 2.0 & 1.1 cabling will fit into USB 3.0 devices and will operate at lower transfer speeds and features. What application is it best for? USB 3.0 is designed for data transfer to and from large mass storage devices. A few examples would be transferring data from a large hard drive, HD video for video editing or Blu-Ray authoring, or high resolution photos for editing and storage. What hardware is required to experience the benefits of USB 3.0? A computer equipped with USB 3.0 ports, a USB 3.0 device and USB 3.0 cabling is required to experience the features of the specification. If your computer currently lacks USB 3.0 ports, a PCI Express upgrade card can be installed. If all USB 3.0 ports are occupied, a USB 3.0 hub can be introduced to expand, allowing additional devices to be connected. USB 3.0 USB 2.0 • 600 mbps throughput • 60 Mbps throughput • Full duplex communication • Half duplex communication • 150 mA of power for un- • 100 mA of power for configured devices unconfigured devices • 900 – 1000 mA of power for • 500 mA of power for configured Devices configured devices • Power standby regulated by host • Powering standby regulated and device by host 3555 Kettering Blvd. Moraine, OH 45439 | 800.287.2843 | www.cablestogo.com .

A Technology Comparison Adopting Ultra-Wideband for Memsen’S File Sharing and Wireless Marketing Platform
A Technology Comparison Adopting Ultra-Wideband for Memsen’s file sharing and wireless marketing platform What is Ultra-Wideband Technology? Memsen Corporation 1 of 8 • Ultra-Wideband is a proposed standard for short-range wireless communications that aims to replace Bluetooth technology in near future. • It is an ideal solution for wireless connectivity in the range of 10 to 20 meters between consumer electronics (CE), mobile devices, and PC peripheral devices which provides very high data-rate while consuming very little battery power. It offers the best solution for bandwidth, cost, power consumption, and physical size requirements for next generation consumer electronic devices. • UWB radios can use frequencies from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz, a band more than 7 GHz wide. Each radio channel can have a bandwidth of more than 500 MHz depending upon its center frequency. Due to such a large signal bandwidth, FCC has put severe broadcast power restrictions. By doing so UWB devices can make use of extremely wide frequency band while emitting very less amount of energy to get detected by other narrower band devices. Hence, a UWB device signal can not interfere with other narrower band device signals and because of this reason a UWB device can co-exist with other wireless devices. • UWB is considered as Wireless USB – replacement of standard USB and fire wire (IEEE 1394) solutions due to its higher data-rate compared to USB and fire wire. • UWB signals can co-exists with other short/large range wireless communications signals due to its own nature of being detected as noise to other signals.

LPT, COM, 1394, USB, USB-C LPT IEEE 1284, LPT (Англ. Line Print Terminal; Также Параллельный Порт, По
LPT, COM, 1394, USB, USB-C LPT IEEE 1284, LPT (англ. Line Print Terminal; также параллельный порт, порт принтера) — международный стандарт параллельного интерфейса для подключения периферийных устройств персонального компьютера. В основном используется для подключения к компьютеру принтера, сканера и других внешних устройств (часто использовался для подключения внешних устройств хранения данных), однако может применяться и для других целей (организация связи между двумя компьютерами, подключение каких-либо механизмов телесигнализации и телеуправления). В основе данного стандарта лежит интерфейс Centronics и его расширенные версии (ECP, EPP). Название LPT образовано от наименования стандартного устройства принтера LPT1 (Line Printer Terminal или Line PrinTer) в операционных системах семейства MS-DOS. Параллельный порт Centronics — порт, используемый с 1981 года в персональных компьютерах фирмы IBM для подключения печатающих устройств, разработан фирмой Centronics Data Computer Corporation; уже давно стал стандартом де-факто, хотя в действительности официально на данный момент он не стандартизирован. Изначально этот порт был разработан только для симплексной (однонаправленной) передачи данных, так как предполагалось, что порт Centronics должен использоваться только для работы с принтером. Впоследствии разными фирмами были разработаны дуплексные расширения интерфейса (byte mode, EPP, ECP). Затем был принят международный стандарт IEEE 1284, описывающий как базовый интерфейс Centronics, так и все его расширения. Разъемы. Порт на стороне управляющего

Cable Discharge Event (CDE) Automated Test System Based on TLP Method Draft V3-2016.03.18 Wei Huang, Jerry Tichenor Web: www.esdemc.com Email: [email protected] Tel: (+1) 573-202-6411 Fax: (+1) 877-641-9358 Address: 4000 Enterprise Drive, Suite 103, Rolla, MO, 65401 Cable Discharge Event (CDE) Background What is CDE Event ? A Cable Discharge Event (CDE) is electrostatic discharge(s) between metal of a cable connector and the mating cable connector or plug. It is very common in daily life. When CDE happens, transient high current and high voltage pulses are generated into the connector pins and cause potential damage to the system with connector. The pulse characteristic is determined by the cable type, cable length, physical arrangement of the cable and system with connector, and system with connector side circuitry. A Generic CDE System Concept Why understanding CDE robustness is important ? The discharge processes are complicated due to the number of pins involved and their connections to a system. In addition, the occurrence rate and severity of the static discharge is important to design a robust system. Basic System Features: A well repeatable test setup to reproduce cable discharge events Pulse injection level covers different types of cable connections Additional System Features: Automatic computer controlled test for all available connector pins Automatic remove DUT residue charge safely after each pulse safely Integrate current and voltage probes to monitor CDE events on each pin ESDEMC Collected Cable Pins and Practical Passive

Connectivity Chapter 2 This Presentation Covers
Connectivity Chapter 2 This presentation covers: >Computer Ports > Devices Connected to Ports The purpose of various computer ports What to do if you don’t have a particular port What types of devices connect to specific ports Symbols and colors associated with particular ports External Connectivity • A port: is a connector on a motherboard or on a separate adapter that allows a device to connect to a computer. • Many port connections are either male or female. • Male ports: have metal pins that protrude from the connector. A male port requires a cable with a female connector. • Female ports: have holes in the connector into which the male cable pins are inserted. External Connectivity • Some connectors on integrated motherboards are either D-shell connectors (They are named for their characteristic D-shaped metal shield) or DIN connectors. (A DIN connector is an electrical connector that was originally standardized by the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), the German national standards organization) • A D-shell connector (sometimes called a D-sub): has more pins or holes on top than on the bottom, so a cable connected to the D-shell connector can be inserted in only one direction. • Many documents represent a D-shell connector by using the letters DB, a hyphen, and the number of pins—for example, DB-9, DB-15, or DB-25. External Connectivity • A mini-DIN-6 connector: is round with small holes and is normally keyed. When a connector is keyed, the cable can be inserted only one way. • Keyboard and mouse connectors, commonly called PS/2 ports(Its name comes from the IBM Personal System/2 series of personal computers), are examples of mini-DIN connectors.

Audio Video Bridging (AVB) White Paper
White Paper Audio Video Bridging (AVB) Audio Video Bridging, AVB, is a method for transport of audio and video streams over Ethernet-based networks. It is based on ratified IEEE standards for Ethernet networks that define signaling, transport and synchronization of the audio and video streams. A critical component in a converged, universal network that is shared by legacy data traffic and AV streams is Quality of Service (QoS) because it allows voice and video traffic to be prioritized over data traffic ensuring timely and reliable delivery. AVB takes this concept to a new level by adding stream signaling, automatic bandwidth reservation and traffic prioritization, as well as time synchronization thus allowing high quality digital audio and video streams to be reliably transported over Ethernet. The standard QoS needs to be manually implemented on every device and interface in the path between the sender and receiver. This includes identifying traffic, tagging it with QoS priority values, and then configuring queuing and/ or shaping policies that are applied per interface. This approach labor-intensive and static, i.e. it does not allow for dynamic, on-demand updates.. AVB, on the other hand, has a fully automated end-to-end QoS. As the AV streams are setup all devices along the path automatically and on-demand implement queuing, shaping, and prioritization for each AV stream. When the stream stops, the policies are automatically removed and bandwidth freed up. At the same time, AVB QoS mechanism limits the total amount of interface bandwidth that can be reserved for AV streams, so that other applications get their fair share of the available bandwidth.
