USB has greatly simplified the lives of PC users by combining multiple existing
interfaces into a single, easy-to-use connector. USB's plug-and-play capability
ends the formerly complex process of adding system peripherals.
USB offers three speeds: low-speed (1.5 Mbps), full-speed (12 Mbps, or USB 1.1),
and high-speed (480 Mbps, or USB 2.0). All three offer both asynchronous and
isochronous (real-time) data transmission over a simple and inexpensive 4-wire
cable. This meets the requirements of many peripherals, including keyboards,
mice, printers, speakers, scanners, external storage devices and digital still
cameras.
