Universal Serial Bus 4, marketed as USB4 and sometimes referred to as USB 4.0, is a new technical specification of the Universal Serial Bus data connection standard, released on 29 August 2019 by the USB Implementers Forum.

Contents

USB4 allows sharing a single, high-speed data link with multiple devices dynamically. USB4 devices must support 20 Gbit/s data transfer rates and, optionally, the rates of 40 Gbit/s (USB4 version 1.0), 80 Gbit/s (USB4 version 2.0), and 120Gbit/s. [1] [2] In contrast to prior USB protocol standards, USB4 mandates the exclusive use of the USB-C connector and USB Power Delivery specification.[ citation needed ]

USB4 architecture is based on USB 3.2 specification. [3] It also incorporates elements of the Thunderbolt 3 protocol; however, interoperability with Thunderbolt 3 products is mandatory only on selected USB4 device types. [4]

History

USB4 was announced in March 2019. [5] [6] The USB4 specification version 1.0, released 29 August 2019, uses "Universal Serial Bus 4" and specifically "USB4", that is, the short name branding is deliberate without a separating space, which is different than prior versions. Several news reports before the release of that version use the terminology "USB 4.0" and "USB 4". [7] [8] Even after publication of rev. 1.0, some sources write "USB 4", claiming "to reflect the way readers search". [9]

On 1 September 2022, the USB Promoter Group announced the pending release of the USB4 Version 2.0 specification, and the specification was subsequently released on 18 October 2022. [10] [11]

At time of publication of version 1.0, promoter companies having employees that participated in the USB4 Specification technical work group were: Apple Inc., Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Microsoft, Renesas Electronics, STMicroelectronics, and Texas Instruments.

Goals stated in the USB4 specification are increasing bandwidth, helping to converge the USB-C connector ecosystem, and "minimize end-user confusion". Some of the key areas to achieve this are using a single USB-C connector type, while retaining compatibility with existing USB and Thunderbolt products. [12]

On 29 April 2020, DisplayPort Alt Mode version 2.0 was released, supporting DisplayPort 2.0 over USB4. [13]

Data transfer modes

USB4 by itself does not provide any generic data transfer mechanism or device classes like USB 3.x, but serves mostly as a way to tunnel other protocols like USB 3.2, DisplayPort, and optionally PCIe. While it does provide a native Host-to-Host protocol, as the name implies it is only available between two connected hosts; it is used to implement Host IP Networking. With the USB4 1.0 specification, when the host and device do not support optional PCIe tunneling, the non-display bandwidth is limited to mandatory USB 3.2 10 Gbit/s, with optional[ disputed – discuss ] support for USB 3.2 20 Gbit/s. The USB4 2.0 specification named this USB3 Gen X tunneling and introduced optional support for a new USB3 Gen T tunneling that extends the USB3 protocol to be able to use the maximum available bandwidth.

USB4 V2.0 specifies tunneling of:

USB4 also includes support of a DisplayPort alternate mode. That means, DisplayPort signalling (including audio/video signals) can be sent either via USB4 tunneling or using a USB-C alternate mode. DisplayPort 2.1 specification supports a video resolution up to 8K at 60 Hz with HDR10 color depth, and data rate up to 80 Gbit/s which is the same amount available to USB data, but just unidirectional. [14]

Legacy USB (1–2) is always supported using the dedicated wires in the USB-C connector.

Some transfer modes are supported by all USB4 devices, support for others is optional. The requirements for supported modes depend on the type of device.

  1. 1 2 3 4 USB4 Gen 2×1 and Gen 2×2 is different from USB 3.2 Gen 2×1 and Gen 2×2 respectifely. They only signify the same speed, but are coded differently on the electrical layer.
  2. 1 2 USB4 can use optional Reed–Solomon forward error correction (RS FEC). In this mode, 12 × 16 B (128 bit) symbols are assembled together with 2 B (12 bit + 4 bit reserved) synchronisation bits indicating the respective symbol types and 4 B of RS FEC to allow to correct up to 1 B of errors anywhere in the total 198 B block.
  3. ↑ Gen 4 always has dual lanes.

Although USB4 is required to support dual-lane modes, it uses single-lane operations during initialization of a dual-lane link; single-lane link can also be used as a fallback mode in case of a lane bonding error.

In Thunderbolt compatibility mode, the lanes are driven slightly faster at 10.3125 Gbit/s (for Gen 2) and 20.625 Gbit/s (for Gen 3), as required by Thunderbolt specifications (these are called legacy speeds and rounded speeds [20] ). After removal of 64b/66b encoding, those also become round, 20.625/66*64 = 20.000 Gbit/s.

Cable Length Limitations

Cables are sold at 16.5ft for USB 3.2, and 6.6ft for USB4 but there are no reliable sources to support these speeds functioning at specification.

[21]

Power delivery

USB4 requires USB Power Delivery (USB PD). A USB4 connection needs to negotiate a USB PD contract before being established. A USB4 source must at least provide 7.5 W (5 V, 1.5 A) per port. A USB4 sink must require less than 250 mA (default), 1.5 A, or 3 A @ 5 V of power (depending on USB-C resistor configuration) before USB PD negotiation. With USB PD, up to 240 W of power is possible with 'Extended power range' (5 A at 48 V). For 'Standard Power range' up to 100 W is possible (5 A at 20 V).

Thunderbolt 3 compatibility

The USB4 specification states that a design goal is to "Retain compatibility with existing ecosystem of USB and Thunderbolt products." Compatibility with Thunderbolt 3 is required for USB4 hubs; it is optional for USB4 hosts and USB4 peripheral devices. [22] Compatible products need to implement 40 Gbit/s mode, at least 15 W of supplied power, and the different clock; implementers need to sign the license agreement and register a Vendor ID with Intel. [23]

Pinout

Type-C receptacle pinout (end-on view)

USB4 has 24 pins in a symmetrical USB type C shell. USB4 has 12 A pins on the top and 12 B pins on the bottom. [24]

USB4 has two lanes of differential SuperSpeed pairs. Lane one uses TX1+, TX1−, RX1+, RX1− and lane two uses TX2+, TX2−, RX2+, RX2−. USB4 transfers data at 20 Gbit/s per lane. USB4 also keeps the differential D+ and D− for USB 2.0 transfer. [25]

The CC configuration channels have the roles of creating a relationship between attached ports, detecting plug orientation due to the reversible USB type C shell, discovering the VBUS power supply pins, determining the lane ordering of the SuperSpeed lanes, and finally the USB protocol makes the CC configuration channel responsible for entering USB4 operation.

Hardware support

During CES 2020, USB-IF and Intel stated their intention to allow USB4 products that support all the optional functionality as Thunderbolt 4 products. The first products compatible with USB4 were Intel's Tiger Lake processors, with more devices appearing around the end of 2020. [30] [31]

Brad Saunders, CEO of the USB Promoter Group, anticipates that most PCs with USB4 will support Thunderbolt 3, but for phones the manufacturers are less likely to implement Thunderbolt 3 support. [9]

On 3 March 2020, Cypress Semiconductor announced new Type-C power (PD) controllers supporting USB4, CCG6DF as dual port and CCG6SF as single-port. [32]

In November 2020, Apple unveiled MacBook Air (M1, 2020), MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020), and Mac mini (M1, 2020) featuring two USB4 ports.

AMD also stated that Zen 3+ (Rembrandt) processors will support USB4 [33] and released products do have this feature after a chipset driver update. [34] However, AMD has only announced support for USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 in Zen 4 processors that were released in September 2022. [35] [36] Intel supports Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C with the mobile 9th generation processors in 2019.

Universal Serial Bus 3.0, marketed as SuperSpeed USB, is the third major version of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) standard for interfacing computers and electronic devices. It was released in November 2008. The USB 3.0 specification defined a new architecture and protocol, named SuperSpeed, which included a new lane for a new signal coding scheme providing full-duplex data transfers that physically required five additional wires and pins, while preserving the USB 2.0 architecture and protocols and therefore keeping the original four pins and wires for the USB 2.0 backward-compatibility, resulting in nine wires in total and nine or ten pins at connector interfaces. The new transfer rate, marketed as SuperSpeed USB (SS), can transfer signals at up to 5 Gbit/s with nominal data rate of 500 MB/s after encoding overhead, which is about 10 times faster than High-Speed. USB 3.0 Type-A and B connectors are usually blue, to distinguish them from USB 2.0 connectors, as recommended by the specification. and by the initials SS.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">USB-C</span> 24-pin USB connector system

USB-C, or USB Type-C, is a 24-pin connector that supersedes previous USB connectors and can carry audio, video and other data, e.g., to drive multiple displays or to store a backup to an external drive. It can also provide and receive power, such as powering a laptop or a mobile phone. It is applied not only by USB technology, but also by other protocols, including Thunderbolt, PCIe, HDMI, DisplayPort, and others. It is extensible to support future standards.

The initial versions of the USB standard specified connectors that were easy to use and that would have acceptable life spans; revisions of the standard added smaller connectors useful for compact portable devices. Higher-speed development of the USB standard gave rise to another family of connectors to permit additional data paths. All versions of USB specify cable properties; version 3.x cables include additional data paths. The USB standard included power supply to peripheral devices; modern versions of the standard extend the power delivery limits for battery charging and devices requiring up to 240 watts. USB has been selected as the standard charging format for many mobile phones, reducing the proliferation of proprietary chargers.

VirtualLink was a proposed USB-C Alternate Mode that was historically intended to allow the power, video, and data required to power virtual reality headsets to be delivered over a single USB-C cable instead of a set of three different cables as it was in older headsets. The standard was supported by Nvidia, AMD, HTC Vive, Oculus VR, Valve, and Microsoft. The VirtualLink Consortium was chaired by Rambo Jacoby representing Nvidia. VirtualLink never launched successfully.
