USB IP

Also called: USB IP Core, USB

Universal Serial Bus (USB) is an industry standard that establishes specifications for cables and connectors and protocols for connection, communication and power supply (interfacing) between computers, peripherals and other computers.

The primary purpose behind the development of this protocol was to introduce the standardization of peripheral connections to personal computer through specialized ports. It helps to basically simplify the connections formed between the computer and its associated peripherals. Before its introduction in 1996, the most commonly used ports for peripheral and power supply connections were the serial ports and the parallel ports. They have, however, been replaced by USB ports since then.
