We’re happy to announce Virtual USB DevDays 2021. This year’s Virtual USB Developer Days, in addition to covering foundational USB concepts, will focus on the latest updates to USB Type-C®, USB4® and USB Power Delivery for the fastest, most powerful USB solution to date. Please note that most of the USB4-related materials repeat last year’s content although there will be some updates specific to design guidelines, compliance, and testing. For this year, the bigger news is about USB Power Delivery and the new ability to deliver up to 240W of power.
Through our virtual platform, attendees will have the opportunity to interact with USB experts, exhibitors, and other members.
