USB Implementers Forum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The USB Implementers Forum, USB-IF, is a non-profit organisation to promote and support the Universal Serial Bus. Its main activities are the promotion and marketing of USB, Wireless USB, USB On-The-Go, and the maintenance of the specifications, as well as a compliance program.

It was formed in 1995 by the group of companies that developed USB. Notable members include Apple Computer, Hewlett-Packard, NEC, Microsoft, Intel, and Agere Systems.

The working committees within USB-IF are:

  • Device Working Group
  • Compliance Committee
  • Marketing Committee
  • On-The-Go Working Group

The USB-IF web caters for Developers who can freely sign up to the Developer web-Forums and access documentation, however to join a working group one has to work for a member company or register as a member. The developer forums cover USB hard and software development and is not a end-user Forum.
