Synopsis

Now in its Fifth Edition, USB Complete bridges the gap between the technical specifications and the real world of designing and programming devices that connect over the Universal Serial Bus (USB). Learn how to select a USB speed, device class, and hardware for a design; communicate with devices using Visual C#; use standard host drivers to access devices, including devices that perform vendor-defined tasks; save power with USB's built-in power-conserving protocols; and create robust designs using testing and debugging tools. This fully revised edition also covers SuperSpeed and SuperSpeedPlus (USB 3.1), wireless options, and USB OTG and embedded hosts.

About this title

From the Author

USB is not an interface that sits still as technology passes it by. Since the Fourth Edition of USB Complete was published in 2009, we've seen the release of USB 3.1 and 10 Gbps SuperSpeedPlus, greatly expanded power delivery options, the all-new USB Type-C connector, improved battery charging protocols, new Audio/Video and USB3 Vision classes, new device controllers from hardware providers, enhanced host support for USB, new options for USB OTG and embedded hosts, and expanded capabilities for the WinUSB driver, to name a few!

These developments are the reason I wrote a Fifth Edition of USB Complete. I've updated the contents from beginning to end. As always, my focus was on providing a single, comprehensive source to guide developers who need to design, program, and communicate with USB devices of all types. I hope you find the book useful.
