Introduction

USB allows peripheral devices to exchange data with a PC and also to receive power over the USB bus. Unfortunately, the bus supplied power is limit to 2.5 Watts (0.5A @ +5V) per port, sufficient to provide enough power to input devices, web cameras among other low power devices. Other devices like printer, displays, pin pads, external CD-ROM and hard drives still require an external power supply. Here comes Powered USB, it eliminates the need for additional power supplies. Powered USB provides the necessary power as well as the communication signals over a hot pluggable cable. In addition, the Powered USB solves the physical host side cable locking problem associated with the standard USB connector by providing a host cable locking mechanism.

The Powered USB PCI Add-On card provides a convenient and affordable way to add up to three Powered USB 2.0 ports to a PC. Devices which require more power than provided by the regular USB interface can be easily installed and used with no need for an additional power supply. SUNIX PUB1200PL Powered USB PCI Add-On card, carrying the latest power switching technology provides +12 and +24 VDC, through the PC power supply directly to its 3 Powered USB ports. Powered USB PCI Add-On card is backward compatible to regular USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices.
