A new Product Knowledge Centre (PKC), technology training site has been developed by Mouser Electronics. The site is devoted to the communication bus technology USB3.0 SuperSpeed and all its practical applications as well as featured products.
Consumer interest is rapidly gaining momentum, as an estimated 80 million USB3.0 devices are set to ship in 2011.
The smartphone industry alone is expecting sales of over 160 million units in 2013, many of which will use USB3.0 technology.
The familiarity of the plug-and-play USB interface, continuation of backwards compatibility, and the nearly five Gb/s speed widens the market of buyers for USB with the introduction of fast and consumer friendly transfer of streaming data.
The new site can be accessed via: www.mouser.com/usb30/. It starts with an analysis of the new SuperSpeed USB features, moves into the various component families (from host controllers and hubs, to plugs, ESD protection, and more), and then transitions to newly available USB components.
