Probably, each user had to use "flash drives" or USB mice and keyboards. These peripherals connected to the universal serial bus - USB. To interface this bus with program logic using a USB controller. In 2008, the USB 3.0 specification came along with new cable standards and faster transfer rates.
To install the driver, you must first download the ZIP archive from the "Files" section. After that, you need to unpack it into a separate folder and run the setup.exe file. Then follow all the instructions. On Windows 8 given driver is already built into the system and does not need to be installed separately.
This driver is compatible with the following chipset and processor models:
Intel 7 Series / 8 Series / 100 Series / C216 / C220 / C610 (chipset family), 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th generation processors Intel Core, 2nd generation Intel Core i3, i5, i7 Extreme processors, Intel Pentium or Intel Celeron N-& J-Series processors, Intel processor Core M.

USB translates from English as Universal (Universal) Serial (Serial) Bus (Bus). Now it is quite difficult for you to imagine a modern PC without such a small, but quite important component. Oddly enough, so that users can easily and easily (at first glance) exchange files between PCs and other devices, in the old days a large number of engineers worked on this component. Well, in order for this component to work with a PC, it comes with a controller board that provides work.
To work, the controller needs a driver, which is selected according to motherboard bundled with your PC. You're in luck if you know what motherboard powers your computer - you won't have a problem typing in search engine support site and download bus controller USB Windows 7.
But what if you don't know? Don't worry, fortunately, there are programs that will help you in determining the model of the motherboard. Below they will be discussed.
Utility from Intel.
If there is a small sticker from this corporation somewhere on your computer, or you just know that the computer is built on the basis of Intel Motherboard, then use the official tool. It is intended for identification and provides information on the system and technical data. After that on the site Intel By convenient search you will quickly find the bus controller driver you need USB by specifying the model.
PC diagnostic utility - AIDA.
Now let's move on to a slightly different program. In my opinion, it is better, more convenient and more functional. called AIDA64. It will help the user if on Windows 7 USB device not recognized what to do elementary. In theory, this is the good old Everest, which was previously issued on the basis AIDA32, but now the developers have decided that his time is over, and now AIDA already in a new design and with a large number of functions helps users solve pressing problems, or simply be aware of the system.
The possibilities of the program are very wide - you can view PC components, test their operation and performance, view information from temperature sensors, manage the system and programs, and do much more easily and naturally.
Choose the option that suits you best. After you determine which motherboard on your PC you have, for example, Intel, maybe gigabite or Acer, or some other, then find the official support site through the search system.
We hope this article was relevant and useful for you, and you solved the problem by identifying the system. Share your opinion below, it is important to us. Thank you.
If you look in the "Device Manager", you will see a large list of equipment connected to the computer, for each of which drivers must be installed without fail. Today we will consider the problem when in the "Other devices" block you have the item "Universal serial controller USB bus” followed by a yellow exclamation mark.
The well-known abbreviation "USB" stands for "Universal Serial Bus", which translates as "Universal Serial Bus". The correct operation of this bus is ensured by a special controller, and if for some reason drivers are not installed for it, then you can not even count on the correct operation of the USB ports (often they will not function at all).
Such a problem can occur both during the initial (clean) installation of the operating system, and during its use, for example, after an unsuccessful update, as a result of virus activity or a system failure (which happens much more often).
We fix the problem
Actually, we found out that if there is a problem with the drivers in the "Other devices" "Universal Serial Bus Controller", which means that all our subsequent actions will be aimed at solving this problem.
Step 1: Remove the old driver
Stage 2: Update the chipset driver
The chipset driver is responsible for the performance and interaction of many computer devices, including USB. You can try to solve the problem by updating the chipset driver.
Step 3: Use software to find and update drivers
Many experts do not recommend resorting to the use of programs for automatic search and driver updates, however, if the two previous methods did not help you solve the problem, these programs should not be discounted.
Step 4: Search for a driver via hardware ID
Stage 5: System Restore
If the computer was previously working normally and there were no errors with the "Universal Serial Bus Controller" error, you can try the system restore procedure, which can return the computer to the period of time when the controller driver was working properly.
Please note that using the System Restore tool will almost completely restore your computer to the selected time period. The only exceptions are user files such as music, videos, photos, documents - they will not be affected.
Finally
If, after using all the troubleshooting methods, you still could not return the USB controller to normal operation, you should try to go to the extreme, but often effective step - reinstall operating system. If and after reinstalling Windows the problem will not be solved - we recommend contacting service center where a specialist can diagnose and solve the problem in a timely manner.
Universal Serial Buses (USB) is a fairly popular PC interface. With it, you can connect 127 various devices. They support the function of connecting / disconnecting devices, while there is no need to turn off the computer. Connected devices can be powered directly via USB, eliminating the need for additional power supplies. Today we will talk about such a circuit as a USB universal serial bus controller. We will consider its purpose and the types that exist today.
What is a Universal Serial Bus Controller for?
These devices are part of the computer platform, providing communication to external devices connected to the USB bus. The USB Universal Serial Bus Controller is an intelligent device that can communicate without RAM computer in pass-through mode. According to the type of integration, these devices can be used as part of the system logic or as a separate microcircuit both on the motherboard itself and on an external one (expansion board). According to the connection method, USB controllers differ between PCI and Express bus devices.
Specifications and types of USB controllers
The USB1.1 specification provides for two implementation types for such devices. For example, for USB1.0, Intel has developed two types of USB serial bus controller - UHCI and OHCI. Their difference lies only in the method of access to the first type; they are structurally located in the space of system ports responsible for input-output of information, and logic chips of the second type are in the memory space personal computer. Note that an OHCI USB controller is considered more intelligent than UHCI, as it is able to free the main processor from the need to perform routine operations associated with data transfer over USB buses. Both controllers use 32-bit addressing.
For USB2.0, an EHCI type USB universal serial bus controller has been developed, which is capable of operating at high speeds (480 Mbps). It, thanks to the split transaction, supports the low-speed USB1.1 interface, which is very important for slower devices.
For USB3.0 need universal controller XHCI type. It is able to support the exchange of information at any speed.
Conclusion
So, if you own an old computer that doesn't have USB ports, don't worry, with a minor upgrade you can install a USB controller. Such devices are made in the form of a PCI-type expansion board or PC-cards for laptops. The mentioned controllers are available with USB1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 support. If you decide to install one of these devices for yourself, opt for a faster one, fortunately, their cost is almost the same. Another example: if your PC only supports USB versions 1.0 or 1.1, you can install a controller that will provide version 3.0.
