USB System Architecture

A USB system architecture refers to the physical bus topology of USB devices connected 
to a host device. USB devices include USB hubs, USB peripheral devices, or compound 
devices (devices with a combination of USB hubs and USB peripheral devices built into it).
The system is organized in a tiered star topology to prevent multiple or circular attachments 
to the bus. Each tier represents a degree of separation from the host device. Per USB 
specifications, there are seven supported tiers, starting with the host device (or root hub) 
occupying the first tier.

NOTE:

  Do not connect more than five daisy-chained hubs to the root hub. The 

architecture does not support peripheral devices connected to USB hubs occupying 
the seventh tier.
