Abstract: A USB IC, an operation method thereof, and a USB device are provided. The USB IC is disposed in the USB device and includes a sideband use interface circuit coupled to a sideband use pin of a USB connector of the USB device, and a control circuit. The control circuit is coupled to the sideband use interface circuit and reports a first adapter configuration to a USB host via the sideband use interface circuit so that the USB host enumerates the USB device. The control circuit observes a behavior of the USB host to the USB device after the USB device is enumerated. The control circuit determines whether the first adapter configuration is suitable for a connection manager of the USB host according to the behavior. If not, the control circuit reports a second adapter configuration to the USB host so that the USB host re-enumerates the USB device.

Accordingly, the upper pattern making time and cost can be saved, and the distortion and deformation in the process of 2D-3D conversion can be reduced, thus the completed 2D upper design drawing can be used in production process directly.
