O Accommodate different applications simultaneously
O Low cost
O Self Powered
USB started as a standard for connecting peripherals (such as mice, keyboards)

to PCs. Now it’s the standard for connecting personal devices (iPod’s, printers) to
PC and personal devices (PDA, scanner) to personal devices (printer, iPod’s)
Microchip offers USB products – Peripherals, Embedded Hosts

and OTG in PIC18, PIC24 and PIC32 portfolio
Benefits of USB
O One interface for many applications
O Auto configuration
O No external supply required
O Hot pluggable
O No user settings
Microchip provides with a scalable choice of integrated USB

solutions across 8-, 16- and 32-bit PIC microcontrollers
Offering packages from 18 pin to 100 pins
Easy-to-use and upgradeable products for embedded designs
Ample code and data space for complex USB applications

process
USB Host
O Manages and controls the bus
O Initiates all data packet activity on the bus
O Manages data flow
O Error checking
O Enumerates inserted USB devices and matches device to a
particular class driver
̶ Detects peripheral insertion / extraction
O Provide Power
O System typically consists of complex software applications with
an operating system and microprocessor
̶ Class driver needed for each device or class of devices
USB Peripheral
O Peripherals only respond to Hosts and have no capability to

initiate data transfers Focus on power consumption
O Detects communication from Host
O Exchange data with host
Respond to Standard Requests from Host
O Checking for error data from Host
O Power Management
USB OTG
O Host and Peripheral both in one

O Focus on power consumption
O Transceiver driver to support new USB On-The-Go protocols
̶ Host Negotiation Protocol
̶ Session Request Protocol
O Full speed peripheral/host capability

O One and only one Mini-AB receptacle, which can accept either a
Mini-A plug or a Mini-B plug
O The ability to provide at least 8 mA of bus current when
functioning as the A-device
Embedded Host
O Can support Limited resources

O Supports a Target Peripheral List
O Must be capable of supplying at least 8mA on VBUS
O High, Full, Low-speed may be supported
O Of the 4 USB transfer modes – Mandatory to support Control and
could support Bulk, Interrupt and Isochronous based on target
peripheral list
O Example – Set Top box
On-The-Go Versus Embedded Host
OTG Embedded Host
O Limited host capabilities

O Limited host capabilities
O Posses single role – host

O Possess dual role - host or peripheral
capability to switch between the two O Devices have only Mini-A receptacle
O Devices have Mini-AB receptacle O Does not require Host Negotiation
Protocol (HNP) and optionally

O OTG devices must have Host
support Session Request Protocol
Negotiation Protocol (HNP) and
(SRP)
Session Request Protocol (SRP)
O Do not operate either as hub or full
host as normal host does
