I got interested in USB while I was writing the PC 98 Design Guide (a joint Intel/Microsoft publication). Many of the computer OEMs that I talked to proclaimed that USB was just too complex so I set off to resolve this situation by writing a how-to book that I called USB Design By Example. Intense user feedback and innovations with USB prompted the Second Edition. This book is available and is supported from the Intel Press web site where you should also register your book.

I retired from Intel after 25 years and set up my own USB consultancy business. Cypress Semiconductor commissioned me to write a book on their Multi-Role USB products. They pre-paid the royalties so that you can download this book for free (WARNING, it is 3.4MB).
I have also written an applications note for Cypress - it introduces their lastest PSoC microcontroller that has a full speed USB connection. You can also download this ap note from this site.

I have started a fourth book which is more of a designers guide. I don’t have much time to work on it due to the clients projects that I undertake but I plan to have an electronic copy available from this web site in mid 2007.

If you would like a book written please send me an email with an overview.
