  1. New Interconnect Technology 5th April 2011 0640959, WoohyungJeon

  2. Table of contents • 1. Introduction • 2. Revolutionary I/O technology • 3. More advantages • 4. Architecture • 5. How will it benefit you?

  3. 1. Introduction • Macbook Pro

  4. What is Thunderbolt technology?

  5. 2. Revolutionary I/O technology • Compared to USB(Universal Serial Bus) • Designed for Personal computers(by Ajay Bhatt). • Become commonplace on other devices. • As of 2008, 2 billion USB devices sold per year. • Instant Access Available. • Weakness : Each port only allows one device.

  6. A new breakthrough technology

  7. 2. Revolutionary I/O technology • Thunderbolt • Work like the USB port. • Daisy chain multiple devices.(allows you up to 6 devices) • All the same connector. • Interoperable cables. • Strong Point : You Just need one Thunderbolt port. Don’t Worry!

  8. 3. More advantages (1) • Communication Speed between itself and the connected devices. * Can transfer 10 Gbps.

  9. Performance Comparison 30 seconds to transfer a full-length HD movies. 10 minutes to transfer a year of continuous MP3 playback.

  10. 3. More advantages (2) • Bi-directional. • Can transfer and receive data at the same time. • (Both with 10 Gbps bandwidth)

  11. 3. More advantages (3) • Using Thunderbolt port for your monitor • You still need a dedicated port to connect your monitor to PC. • No way connecting HD-capable monitor to the USB port.

  12. 3. More advantages (3) • Utilize the Display Port protocol • Deliver high display performance on your PC. • With adapter, it support VGA, DVI, DisplayPort and HDMI Interface.

  13. 4. Architecture • Full-duplex Links • Mapping two fundamental I/O protocols onto a single highly efficient meta protocol. • Transmitting them over a single cable, and managing the traffic routing with intelligent H/W controllers. Serial

  14. 4. Architecture • Protocol Architecture • Connector and Cable- extremely small, for thin systems. • Electrical/Optical Layer- both use same connector.- Electrical-only cable : up to 3 meters provides for up to 10 W power.- Optical-only cable : tens of meters • Transport Layer- DisplayPort and PCI Express protocols are mapped onto the transport layer

  15. 4. Architecture • Controller Architecture • one or more DisplayPort atinput interfaces. • By integrating all the featuresinto a single chip,the system vendors easily incorporateThunderbolt technology intotheir designs. • Thunderbolt technology leveragesthe native PCI Expressand DisplayPort device driversavailable in many operating systems.-> No extra S/W is required.

  16. 5. How will it benefit you? • Overall benefits • Backup your TBs data in seconds,or even do video editing and get it to sync on the fly. • A powerful computer in small-form factor. • No longer need dedicated slots for graphic card, sound card oreven a Gigabit Ethernet card.-> Hook up via the Thunderbolt port. • Your next netbook, or mobile device could just bethe most powerful computer in the world.

  17. Thank you! Any Qs?
