什麼是USB(Universal Serial Bus，通用串列匯流排) ?

USB

USB(Universal Serial Bus，通用串列匯流排) 是連接外部設備的一個串列匯流排標準，在電腦上使用廣泛，但也可以用在機頂盒和遊戲機上，補充標準(On-The-Go)使其能夠用於在可攜設備之間直接交換數據。USB最初是由英特爾與微軟公司倡導發起，其最大的特點是支持熱插拔(Hot plug)和即插即用 (Plug&Play)。當設備插入時，主機枚舉(enumerate)此設備並載入所需的驅動程序，因此使用遠比PCI和ISA匯流排方便。原標準中USB 1.1的最大傳輸頻寬為12Mbps，USB 2.0的最大傳輸頻寬為480Mbps，USB3.0為4.8 Gbps。USB 3.0的技術規範于2008年8月13日發行，其商業產品預計于2009年或2010發行。USB 3.0的設計兼容USB 2.0與USB 1.1版本，並且使用了更有效的協議來節約能源。

A USB system has an asymmetric design, consisting of a host, a multitude of downstream USB ports, and multiple peripheral devices connected in a tiered-star topology. Additional USB hubs may be included in the tiers, allowing branching into a tree structure with up to five tier levels. A USB host may have multiple host controllers and each host controller may provide one or more USB ports. Up to 127 devices, including the hub devices, may be connected to a single host controller.
