Asynchronous USB

Asynchronous USB refers to a way data is transferred between a computer and peripherals where data flows in non-continuous, separate chunks rather than a constant stream. This method allows devices to send or receive data whenever ready, improving efficiency and reducing conflicts. It’s like scheduling appointments instead of always being available; devices communicate only when they have data or requests, which helps manage bandwidth and enhances overall performance, especially when multiple devices are connected. This approach is commonly used in various USB standards to ensure flexible and reliable data transfer.
