USB Architecture Core Topics Training

Course Description

The USB System Architecture class is an in-depth discussion of USB and is based on the 2.0 version of the Universal Serial Bus specification. This course covers the operation of low-, full-, and high-speed USB devices as well as host system requirements (including UHCI, OHCI, and EHCI implementations).



It includes a discussion of the Universal Transceiver Macrocell Interface for high-speed designs, and covers the On-the-Go implementations, but focuses on the protocol, signaling environment, and electrical specifications, along with the hardware/software interaction required to configure and access USB devices. The course also includes protocol analyzer demonstrations and debugging techniques. This course provides in-depth information, example implementations, and practical guidance that will give you a running start on your design.

Course Length - 4 Days

Who Should Attend?

This in-depth course is designed with the hardware or software engineer in mind. The course contains practical examples of USB transactions and error conditions. It describes all the rules required for a device to be specification compliant. This makes the course ideal for a system validation engineer who validates RTL-level, system-level or system board-level designs.
