USB-IF kondigt publicatie van de USB4™-specificatie aan
Specificatie nu beschikbaar om te downloaden op de USB-IF website; verdubbelt de bandbreedte om de prestaties van USB Type-C® te verbeteren
BEAVERTON, Ore.-(BUSINESS WIRE)- USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF), de ondersteunende organisatie voor de vooruitgang en adoptie van USB-technologie, kondigt vandaag de publicatie aan van de USB4™-specificatie, een belangrijke update voor het gebruik van de nieuwe generatie USB-architectuur, die een aanvulling is op en voortbouwt op de bestaande USB 3.2 en USB 2.0 architecturen. De USB4-architectuur is gebaseerd op de Thunderbolt™-protocolspecificatie die Intel Corporation onlangs heeft toegevoegd aan de USB Promotor Group. Het verdubbelt de maximale totale bandbreedte van USB en maakt meerdere gelijktijdige gegevens- en weergaveprotocollen mogelijk.
De ontwikkeling van de USB4-specificatie werd voor het eerst aangekondigd in maart 2019 door de USB Promoter Group. Het is nu officieel gepubliceerd door USB-IF en beschikbaar voor download op www.usb.org.
USB-IF Announces Publication of USB4™ Specification
Specification now available for download on USB-IF website; doubles bandwidth to extend USB Type-C® performance
BEAVERTON, Ore.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF), the support organization for the advancement and adoption of USB technology, today announced the publication of the USB4™ specification, a major update to deliver the next-generation USB architecture that complements and builds upon the existing USB 3.2 and USB 2.0 architectures. The USB4 architecture is based on the Thunderbolt™ protocol specification recently contributed by Intel Corporation to the USB Promoter Group. It doubles the maximum aggregate bandwidth of USB and enables multiple simultaneous data and display protocols.
The development of the USB4 specification was first announced in March 2019 by the USB Promoter Group. It is now officially published by USB-IF and available for download at www.usb.org.
Key characteristics of the USB4 solution include:
- Two-lane operation using existing USB Type-C® cables and up to 40Gbps operation over 40Gbps certified cables
- Multiple data and display protocols that efficiently share the maximum aggregate bandwidth
- Backward compatibility with USB 3.2, USB 2.0 and Thunderbolt 3
As the USB Type-C connector has evolved into the role as the external display port of many host products, the USB4 specification provides the host the ability to optimally scale allocations for display data flow. Even as the USB4 specification introduces a new underlying protocol, compatibility with existing USB 3.2, USB 2.0 and Thunderbolt 3 hosts and devices is supported; the resulting connection scales to the best mutual capability of the devices being connected.

The upcoming USB Developer Days 2019 will include detailed technical training covering the USB4 specification and the latest for USB Type-C, USB Power Delivery, and new USB-IF branding strategies. Registration information for the following opportunities is available at www.usb.org.
