USB 3.0 xHCI (Extensible Host Controller 
Interface)
The xHCI compliant host controller can control up to 7 USB host ports. It supports 
devices conforming to USB 1.x to 3.0 at bit rates up to 5 Gbps.

Features of USB 3.0 Host
The USB 3.0 Super Speed data interface is a four wire differential (TX and RX pairs) 
interface that supports simultaneous bi-directional data transmission. The interface 
supports a bit rate of 5 Gbps with a maximum theoretical data throughput over 3.2 
Gbps due to 8b/10b symbol encoding scheme and protocol overhead (link flow control, 
packet framing and protocol overhead).
Low Frequency Periodic signaling (LFPS) is used to communicate initialization, training 
and power management information across a link that is in low power link state without 
using Super Speed signaling. This reduces power consumption.
The USB3.0 port may be paired with any USB2 port at the connector – selection of any 
USB2 port other than port 0 will require the appropriate mapping.

USB3 port paired with USB2 port 0.
