USB 3.0, also known as SuperSpeed USB, is the new standard USB protocol. It boasts several benefits over the current "High Speed" USB 2.0 protocol:

• Bandwidth of up to 5.0 Gb/s (compared to 480 Mb/s in USB 2.0)
• Faster identification of devices
• Improved power efficiency and management
• Increased power supply capability to devices
• Optical as well as traditional USB-wired interconnection

The new standard is physically and functionally backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and can support devices complying with older specifications.

Thanks to its overwhelming ubiquity, USB is becoming a transport layer for higher functionality that exposes various connectivity types to the host operating system. The UBS Implementers Forum (USB-IF) have defined several such standardized USB classes: Serial-over-USB, Ethernet-over-USB, OBEX-over-USB, Device Firmware Upgrade class driver (DFU), and others. Jungo's DriverCore offers high performance host PC USB class drivers with full support for any standard host operating system.

Jungo is offering a new white paper for manufacturers of devices requiring higher functionality over USB. The document quantifies the steps in USB class driver development, and details the alternative approaches for their implementation. It goes on to weigh the relative benefits of each approach. Finally, it brings some general use cases for extremely demanding markets, such as: military, medical and mobile.

ICCD—intended for next-generation SIM cards and USB inter-chip connectivity—simplifies integration of multiple high speed capabilities, and meets the increasing bandwidth needs of devices like: 3G/4G modems, WiMAX, 802.11n and storage peripherals, as well as other USB-based input devices like keypads and control panels.

The IC-USB permits data transfer at higher bandwidth and with improved power efficiency. It also provides a digital signal interconnect between the systems on chip (SOC) and their IC peripherals, eliminating the need for analog PHYs.

Jungo's USBware ICCD Stack is tested with leading manufacturers of high density SIMs, which complies with the following specifications:

• IC-USB V 1.0
• European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) - ETSI TS 102 600 V7.1.0
