Full Speed USB

Last modified by Microchip on 2023/11/10 11:19

Specification

  • USB Full Speed mode was introduced in 1996 with the USB v1.0 specification (later revised to USB 1.1 1998)
  • Maximum theoretical bandwidth is 1.2 Mbits/sec
  • Uses four data lines - Power (5V), ground, and two data lines (D+ and D-)
  • Half-Duplex differential signaling on D+ and D-
  • Uses the traditional (i.e. defined before USB 3.0) USB connectors

Enumeration

Full Speed devices announce to a host that they are ready to be enumerated by asserting 5V on D+ through a 1.5 KΩ pull-up resistor.
