usb=universal serial bus
short answer, yes
It uses a serial protocol for transferring data. This protocol is different to the protocol of the classical old serial connection that is not used any more in modern computer hardware.
Assuming that by serial technologies you mean serial communication, here are some: USB - Universal Serial Bus RS232C - The original serial protocol
USB, or Universal Serial Bus, is an attempt to standardize communication and to allow products to be "plug and play".USB devices follow a standardized protocol to be able to communicate through your computer's USB socket.
SIE - The frontend of the USB....The SIE is the frontend of this hardware and handles most of the protocol described in the USB specification. The SIE typically comprehends signaling upto the transaction level.
Many USB-to-serial port adapters are available off the shelf in most hardware stores. These are inexpensive devices connecting to the PC via USB, offering a standard EIA-232 connector on the other end. To the PC software and operating system, these devices look and behave just like a regular "COM" port. Future Technology Devices International Ltd, FTDI, is an example for a chip maker specializing in USB-to-serial adapter chips. This is a better alternative to the aforementioned adapter cables, if hardware design is a viable option.
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a serial bus standard to interface devices to a host computer.
Serial link internet protocol..............
The USB part stands for Universial Serial Bus.
USB PTP stands for USB Picture Transfer Protocol. It is a communication protocol used to transfer photos from a digital camera to a computer via a USB connection. USB PTP allows the camera and computer to communicate and transfer image files efficiently and quickly. This protocol is commonly used in digital photography to easily transfer photos for editing, sharing, and storage.
You can purchase a USB to Serial lead, which will work.Hope this helpsbe safe
They do make universal USB serial adapters. They are very affordable.
It is a very simple protocol used for transmission of IP datagrams across a serial line.
