Universal Serial Bus 3.0
This document provides the technical details necessary to understand USB 3.0 requirements and to design USB 3.0–compatible products.
USB 3.0 Internal Connector and Cable Specification >
This specification document describes the internal cable interface for USB 3.0 connections in a desktop, focusing on the electrical and mechanical requirements of the connector, and cable assembly. The detailed daughter card or direct-cable implementation is out of the scope of this documentation.
PHY Interface For the PCI Express* and USB 3.0 Architecture Specification >
This is a final version of the PHY Interface for PCI Express* and USB 3.0 Architectures (PIPE) specification that supports PCI Express* and USB 3.0 architectures. The PIPE specification describes a standardized interface between PHY and MAC implementations for PCIe* Gen2 and USB 3.0. This document can be used for both discrete PHY parts and for PHYs that are foundry macrocell implementations.
eXtensible Host Controller Interface (XHCI) Draft Specification for USB, Revision 3.0 >
These specifications describe the register-level host controller interface for Universal Serial Bus (USB) Revision 2.0 and above, and include a description of the hardware/software interface between the system software and the host controller hardware.
These specifications are intended for hardware component designers, system builders, and device driver (software) developers. The reader is expected to be familiar with the current Universal Serial Bus Specification revisions.
Note: In case of conflicts between the xHCI and the USB specifications, the USB specifications take precedence and must be followed.
Universal Serial Bus 2.0
USB 2.0 Specification > (download from the USB-IF web site)
This document provides the technical details necessary to understand USB 2.0 requirements and to design USB 2.0–compatible products.
On-The-Go Supplement to the USB 2.0 Specification >
These specifications address the need for portable devices to communicate with each other and with USB peripherals when a PC is not available.
EHCI Compliance Testing Program >
The EHCI Compliance Testing Program measures an EHCI controller implementation for conformance to the EHCI specification and evaluates the functionality of the EHCI Controller function of a USB 2.0 host controller. It does not evaluate the functionality of the USB companion controllers.
USB 2.0 High-Speed Electrical Test Fixture Reference Design >
This reference design provides the files necessary to produce a high-speed USB electrical test fixture. These files include stackup requirements, fab drawing, mechanical drawing, primary silkscreen file, gerbers for each layer, aperture files, drill file, paste mask files, solder mask files, allegro board file, schematics, bills of materials, and stuffing options.
