1 Introduction

1.1 General

USB has become a popular interface for exchanging data between cell phone and portable devices. Many of these devices have become so small it is impossible to use standard USB components as defined in the USB 2.0 specification. In addition the durability requirements of the Cell Phone and Portable Devices market exceed the specifications of the current interconnects. Since Cell Phones and other small Portable Devices are the largest market potential for USB, this specification is addressing this very large market while meeting all the requirements for electrical performance within the USB 2.0 specification. 1.2 Objective of the Specification

The purpose of this document is to define the requirements and features of a Micro-USB connector that will meet the current and future needs of the Cell Phone and Portable Devices markets, while conforming to the USB 2.0 specification for performance, physical size and shape of the Micro-USB interconnect. This is not a stand-alone document. Any aspects of USB that are not specifically changed by this specification are governed by the USB 2.0 Specification and USB On-The-Go Supplement. 1.3 Intended Audience/Scope

Cell phone and Portable Devices have become so thin that the current Mini-USB does not fit well within the constraints of future designs. Additional requirements for a more rugged connector that will have durability past 10,000 cycles and still meet the USB 2.0 specification for mechanical and electrical performance was also a consideration. The Mini-USB could not be modified and remain backward compatible to the existing connector as defined in the USB OTG specification. 1.4 Related Documents

3 Significant Features

This section identifies the significant features of the Micro-USB specification. The purpose of this section is not to present all the technical details associated with each major feature, but rather to highlight its existence. Where appropriate, this section references other parts of the document where further details can be found.

3.1 USB 2.0 Specification Compliance

Any device with Micro-USB features is first and foremost a USB peripheral that is compliant with the USB 2.0 specification.

3.2 On-The-Go Device

Any OTG Micro-USB device shall conform to the OTG requirements as set forth in the On-The-Go Supplement to the USB 2.0 Specification.

3.3 Connectors

The USB 2.0 specification defines the following connectors:

• Standard-A plug and receptacle,

• Standard-B plug and receptacle, and

• Mini-B plug and receptacle.

The Micro-USB specification defines the following additional connectors:

• Micro-B plug and receptacle

• Micro-AB receptacle

• Micro-A plug.

The Micro-AB receptacle is only allowed on OTG products. All other uses of the Micro-AB receptacle are prohibited. The Micro-AB receptacle accepts either a Micro-A plug or a Micro-B plug. It is recommended that the Micro-AB continue to support HNP as requested and support full functionality as a peripheral when a Micro-B plug is inserted.

3.4 Compliant Cable Assemblies

The USB 2.0 specification defines the following cables:

• Standard-A plug to Standard–B plug,

• Standard-A plug to Mini-B plug, and

• Captive cable with Standard-A plug.

The Micro-USB specification defines the following additional cables:

• Micro-A plug to Micro-B plug,

• Micro-A plug to Standard-A receptacle

• Micro-B plug to Standard-A plug, and

• Hardwired Captive cable with Micro-A plug. (Hardwired Captive cable is a cable, connected internally to a device, which is not designed to be removed by the end user of that device.) No other types of cables are allowed by either the USB specification, or by the OTG supplement. Cables are not allowed to have receptacles on either end unless they meet the mechanical and electrical requirements of adapters defined in this document. MicroUSB Specification to the USB 2.0 Specification, Revision 1.01 April 4, 2007 9

3.5 Plug Overmolds

The Micro-USB specification constrains the size and the shape of the overmolds for the Micro-A and Micro-B plugs.

The Micro-A plug’s overmold has a rectangular shape, and the Micro-B plug’s overmold is rectangular with chamfers. This allows easy recognition and differentiation of the two plugs by the consumer See pictures Figure 4-4 and Figure 4-5.
