Microchip Technology application note AN1144 USB Human Interface Device Class on an Embedded Host. With the introduction of Microchip’s PIC microcontrollers with the USB on the go peripheral, microcontroller applications can easily support USB embedded host functionality. Traditionally, the PC is used as a host in a USB network. Now, with Microchip’s PIC microcontroller will host capability, the host can be implemented in an embedded system. Some of the most common uses of this capability are to interface to human interface devices. This application note describes how the USB embedded host human interface device path provides a simple interface to popular USB human interface devices. Embedded applications pin out easily to flexible HID host in numerous applications involving external inputs to user applications.
