2. May 8, 20012 USB 2.0 Electrical Overview Jon Lueker Intel Corporation

3. May 8, 20013 Highlights of the USB 2.0 Electrical Specification w High-speed signaling mode – 480 Mb/s w Existing cables and connectors w Seamless forward/backward compatibility w High-speed functionality smoothly “layered” over existing USB 1.1 w Specifications for each element testable through the use of required test modes

4. May 8, 20014 USB 2.0 - An Extension of USB 1.1 w All the functionality of USB 1.1 w High-speed signaling mode w Protocol for detecting high-speed capability w Protocols for entering/exiting high-speed w Mechanism for disconnect detection w Low-/full-speed specifications tightened, but only for high-speed capable ports w Section 7.2 (“Power Distribution”) specifications unchanged

5. May 8, 20015 USB 2.0 is Interoperable with USB 1.1 w All compliant USB 1.1 devices, hubs, and cables will work with new 2.0 host controllers w USB 2.0 devices and hubs will work with 1.1 host controllers (but not at 480 Mb/s!) w High-speed signaling is supported over compliant USB 1.1 cables and connectors

6. May 8, 20016 Legacy USB Devices (Other than Hubs) w Compliant USB 1.1 devices will generally be USB 2.0 compliant w Exception: Low-speed devices with unshielded, captive cables w USB 2.0 requires foil and drain wire in low-speed captive cables This Is a Compliance Issue – It Doesn’t Affect 1.1/2.0 Interoperability!

7. May 8, 20017 USB 2.0 High-speed Capable Devices w Required to support full-speed signaling w Required to at least enumerate in full-speed w Required to meet tightened full-speed electrical specifications w Must not support low-speed mode It’s Likely That Vendors of High-Speed Capable Devices Will Support Full-Speed Operating Modes ( 250 Million Existing USB 1.1 Ports! )

8. May 8, 20018 USB 2.0 Hubs and Host Controllers w Required to support low, full, and high-speed modes on downstream facing ports w Required to support full-/high-speed on upstream facing ports w Required to support tightened low-/full-speed electrical specifications

12. May 8, 200112 Source/Load Terminations w Use of terminations at source and load enable high signal integrity w Reflection coefficient = (RT - Z0) / (RT + Z0) Example: For Z 0 = 52 Ohms and R T = 40 Ohms, reflection coefficient is -13% In the case of a source terminated link, there is a 13% additive/subtractive inter-symbol interference With source and load terminations of 40 Ohms, the effect is reduced to (13%) 2, or 1.7% Double terminations have a similar benefit in reducing the effects of connector and board related discontinuities

13. May 8, 200113 Dual Termination Makes USB 2.0 Speeds Possible on USB 1.X Cable Assemblies USB 2.0 Dual Terminations w Simulation assumes ideal transceivers and terminations w Typical imperfections are modeled for cable, connectors, bond wires, etc. w 2.7X increase in eye opening, 2.7X decrease in jitter Single Termination Dual Termination

14. May 8, 200114 Full-Speed Drivers Provide Terminations w Full-speed drivers asserting SE0 look like resistance to ground w Z DRV + R S = 45 Ohms, +/- 10% w R S may be integrated on-die or placed off-chip High Speed Signaling Current High Speed Signaling Current Data+Data+ Data-Data- RSRSRSRS RSRSRSRS Full Speed Drivers Provide Termination Levels Full Speed Drivers Provide Termination Levels High Speed Differential Receiver High Speed Differential Receiver Z DRV RSRSRSRS RSRSRSRS

15. May 8, 200115 Existing Cables and Connectors w No changes to connector specifications w Cable specs added to USB 1.1 guarantee performance, but pre-ECN cables will support high-speed 250ps 200mV (Worst-Case Simulation)

16. May 8, 200116 DC Coupled w Low-/full-speed modes require DC coupling w DC coupling for high-speed simplifies board design and minimizes cost w Worst case skin-effect losses still leave reliable eye opening w Use of individual ferrite beads on D+ and D- lines no longer possible, but shielded low-speed cable requirement helps a lot No New Magnetics Required for USB 2.0

17. May 8, 200117 High-Speed Signaling Is Only Sensed Differentially Differential + Common Mode = Total Signal High-Speed Driver Generates Differential and Common Mode Components, but Receiver Only Senses Differential Portion

18. May 8, 200118 High-Speed Timing Regenerated in Repeater w High-speed signaling incurs no cumulative jitter or degradation w Bit errors and non-compliant behavior are easily isolated to a single link Low-/full-speed Clock And Data RecoveryClock Recovery ElasticityBufferElasticityBufferDataTransmissionDataTransmission High-speed

22. May 8, 200122 R PU Switch w When device enters high-speed mode, R PU is disconnected w It is recommended that switching elements be attached to both lines to achieve balanced parasitics
