USB Design by Example: A Practical Guide to Building I/O Devices

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a new standard specification for PC peripherals that provides a uniform approach to developing products that work together seamlessly through a single, one-size-fits-all plug and port connection. Virtually all new PCs, and the iMac, now ship with USB ports. Written by an Intel insider, this practical, step-by-step guide uses fully documented examples to get developers up to speed on everything they need to know to design and program USB devices—from schematics and codes to prototypes. The book is specially formatted to serve as both a step-by-step manual for creating specific devices, and a complete reference to understanding and using the USB.

CD-ROM contains all the source code for the examples in the book, color versions of selected diagrams, photographs, and a link to the USB specification site.
