Patent number: 9009380Abstract: A universal serial bus (USB) transaction translator is provided along with a micro-frame synchronization method. A device interface is coupled to a device via a device bus, and a host interface is coupled to a host via a host bus. At least two buffers are configured to store data. A controller stores the data in the buffers alternately. A start-of-frame (SOF) counter is used to count the SOF packets, with the counting value of the SOF counter being compared to a predefined value. Specifically, the controller resets a SOF timer for sending the SOF packet when the counting value achieves or exceeds the predefined value, such that the SOF packet and an isochronous timestamp packet (ITP) from the host are sent at the same time. Further, the controller delays the sending of the SOF packet for a period of time according to the ITP from the host.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2013Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: VIA Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jiin Lai, Chin-Sung Hsu, Terrance Shiyang Shih, Jinkuan Tang, Buheng Xu, Hui Jiang
