Universal Serial Bus - Esterline Interface Technologies - #3

We look forward to working with your next project and to help you understand the USB hardware/ software solutions that are currently available.

By enumerating, the USB ensures that the origin of incoming information is linked to the correct peripheral device, and that outgoing information gets back to the proper place. Because the enumeration process is continuous, the USB also allows the user to add or remove devices without powering down the system; the process is called "hot swapping." Further, with a 12 Megabit/second (Mb/s) pipe, the USB has no difficulty supporting medium bandwidth peripheral devices, including audio class devices like speakers or microphones. With USB version 2.0 out since April, 2000, the bandwidth is upgraded to 480 Mb/s, enabling

the USB to handle high speed data information transfer, which provides the user with more information faster.

Actively involved with USB since 1998—Esterline, Advanced Input Systems is now working on the development of multiple design solutions that will enable even the most complex control panels to use the USB. These solutions, or common building blocks, will give our customers the ability to add many types of peripherals to their user interface with little additional complexity in the design of

the electrical system.

The Advanced Input Systems USB solutions include

custom hardware designs which can be scaled in

complexity. These designs integrate USB hubs and stand-alone USB devices to yield complete control

to the user interface.

High-tech innovation and flexibility from Advanced Input Systems allows you to offer cutting-edge benefits to the end user—and that's what you'd expect from the leader in custom input integration.
