Full Form of USB, Working, Features, Types & Applications

Hello, fellows, I hope all of you are enjoying your life. In today’s tutorial, we will have a look at the Full form of USB, its construction, features, and applications. The Full form of USB is a universal serial bus constructed to easily connect peripherals (Auxiliary devices used to get and provide data to the computer) with the computer, transfer of data, and provide input supply to the computer. With the use of this device for the transfer of data-parallel and serial ports for data communication have been eliminated that send data in a sequence and parallel method.

The use of this module also eliminates battery chargers for charging in handheld devices that make them havier and costly. With all these features we can also link the keyboard, mouse, cameras, printing devices, adapter, etc with the computer. In today’s post, we will have a look at its full-form features, working applications, and some other related factors. So let’s get started with the full form of USB.

Full Form of USB

• The word USB stands for the universal serial bus is an industrial device used to make connections among different wiring systems, and communication devices, and make power supply connections among computer and electronic instruments.

• With the transfer of data, files, and folders it also helps to provide auxiliary devices connected to the computer to get input supply, devices like cameras, printing devices, keyboards, mouse, etc.
• In 1994 with the collaboration of 7 different organizations IMB (International Business Machines), Compaq, DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation), Intel, NEC (Nippon Denki Kabushiki-gaisha), Microsoft, and Nortel USB was designed.
• It was constructed to make it easy to link different electron instruments with the computer.
• It is also compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux. By using USB we can easily install a window on a computer.
• By using some universal serial bus hubs we can link almost one twenty-seven Auxillary devices with one USB port and make them useable at the same time.
• Data transfer through the USB is faster than the older parallel and serial ports.
• Twelve Maga bytes of data can be transferred through the 1.1 universal serial bus.
• 480Mbps data can be transferred through the 2.0 universal serial bus.

How to connect USB device with a Computer

• It is very simple to connect USB with a personal computer, or laptop. For this just connect USB with the USB port existing on the computer.
• With this method, you can also use the cable to connect USB to the computer.

 

Limitations of USB

• The length of the universal cable is less allowing limited connections with the peripheral devices near the computer not to connect a computer with another room or building with another electronic device.
• However, the USB port can be interlinked with the gateway that provides access to the devices that exist at longer distances.

•  The universal serial bus follows the tree terminology and master-slave protocol to link with the devices, all Auxillary devices can not link with each other without any host device, and 2 host devices can not transfer data by using their USB ports.

USB Pinout

• In the given figure, you can see the pinout of the USB.

VERSIONS OF USB

• These are versions of the Universal serial bus commonly used. Let’s discuss them with detail.

USB 1.0: 

• This category of USB was introduced in the year 1996 and can send and receive data up to t12MBPS.

USB 2.0:

• This version can transfer data up to four hundred eighty megabytes and was introduced in 2000.

USB 3.0:

• This USB can transfer data up to 5 GBPS and was introduced in 2008.

USB 3.1:

• This USB module was introduced in 2003 and can communicate up to ten gigabytes of data per second.

USB 3.2:

• This USB module was introduced in the year 2017 and can transfer data up to twenty gigabytes per second.

Types of USB Connector

• The connector of USB also known as a male connector connects with the port on different devices called females.
• In the given figure, you can see different types of USB connectors.

USB Mini Connectors

USB Type-A Mini

• It is used to interlink mobile phones and tablets with keyboards and mice.

USB Type-B Mini

• It exists on cameras, exterior hard drives, and universal serial bus hubs.
• It is used to attach USB 1.1 and 2.0.

Micro Connector

USB Type-A Micro

• This USB module is also manufactured on OTG instruments such as mobile phones and tablets.

USB Type-B Micro

• It is manufactured on currently used Android mobiles as a charging plug.

Power of USB

• The universal serial bus delivers the five-volt power to the devices connected with the USB.

Less-Power and High-Power USB Devices

• Less power-consuming devices use one unit load, one unit load for a universal serial bus of 2.0 is up to a hundred milliamperes, and for usb3.0 is one fifty milliamperes.
• High power-consuming devices use one unit to five-unit load (five milliamperes) for USB 2.0 or higher for the advanced USB modules.

• The given table shows the power consumed by the different USB modules.
