Usb Type-C; Alternate Mode; Usb Power Delivery; Usb Type-C And Usb 3.1 - Dell Latitude 3300 Benutzerhandbuch

Windows 8/10 verfügt über native Unterstützung für USB 3.1 Gen 1 Controller. Vorhergehende Versionen von Windows benötigen hingegen
weiterhin separate Treiber für die USB 3.0 /USB 3.1 Gen 1 Controller.
Microsoft gab die Unterstützung von USB 3.1 Gen 1 für Windows 7 bekannt. Nicht im derzeitigen Release, aber in nachfolgenden Service
Packs oder Updates. Man kann davon ausgehen, dass nach einem erfolgreichen Release der USB 3.0/USB 3.1 Gen 1-Unterstützung in
Windows 7, SuperSpeed schließlich auch bei Vista ankommt. Dies wurde von Microsoft mit der Aussage bestätigt, dass die meisten Partner
ebenfalls der Meinung seien, Vista solle USB 3.0/USB 3.1 Gen 1 unterstützen.

USB Type-C

USB Type-C is a new, tiny physical connector. The connector itself can support various exciting new USB standards like USB 3.1 and USB
power delivery (USB PD).

Alternate Mode

USB Type-C is a new connector standard that is very small. It is about a third the size of an old USB Type-A plug. This is a single connector
standard that every device should be able to use. USB Type-C ports can support a variety of different protocols using "alternate modes,"
which allows you to have adapters that can output HDMI, VGA, DisplayPort, or other types of connections from that single USB port

USB Power Delivery

The USB PD specification is also closely intertwined with USB Type-C. Currently, smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices often use
a USB connection to charge. A USB 2.0 connection provides up to 2.5 watts of power — that'll charge your phone, but that's about it. A
laptop might require up to 60 watts, for example. The USB Power Delivery specification ups this power delivery to 100 watts. It's bi-
directional, so a device can either send or receive power. And this power can be transferred at the same time the device is transmitting
data across the connection.
This could spell the end of all those proprietary laptop charging cables, with everything charging via a standard USB connection. You could
charge your laptop from one of those portable battery packs you charge your smartphones and other portable devices from today. You
could plug your laptop into an external display connected to a power cable, and that external display would charge your laptop as you used
it as an external display — all via the one little USB Type-C connection. To use this, the device and the cable have to support USB Power
Delivery. Just having a USB Type-C connection doesn't necessarily mean they do.

USB Type-C and USB 3.1

USB 3.1 is a new USB standard. USB 3's theoretical bandwidth is 5 Gbps, while USB 3.1's is 10 Gbps. That's double the bandwidth, as fast
as a first-generation Thunderbolt connector. USB Type-C isn't the same thing as USB 3.1. USB Type-C is just a connector shape, and the
underlying technology could just be USB 2 or USB 3.0. In fact, Nokia's N1 Android tablet uses a USB Type-C connector, but underneath it's
all USB 2.0 — not even USB 3.0. However, these technologies are closely related.

Media Card Readers

ANMERKUNG: The media card reader is integrated into the system board on portable systems. If there is a hardware failure or
the reader malfunctions, replace the system board.
The media card reader expands the usefulness and functionality of portable systems, especially when used with other devices such as
digital cameras, portable MP3 players, and handheld devices. All these devices use a form of media card to store information. Media card
readers allows for easy transfer of data between these devices.
