What is a hi-speed USB host controller?

Answer

USB Speeds

  • High Speed - 480Mbits/s
  • Full Speed - 12Mbits/s
  • Low Speed - 1.5Mbits/s

high speed is also most commonly referred to as USB 2.0

The Host Controller is the actual hardware chip either on the motherboard or interface card that connects the USB port into the system.
Most often, PCI add-on cards are referred to as host controllers (ie, an external USB DVD drive may be advertised as "Includes power adapter, USB cable and host controller").
