  • Universal serial bus transceiver and associated methods
    Publication number: 20040186934
    Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, an integrated circuit includes: a transceiver capable of transmitting and receiving signals complying with the standard Universal Serial Bus (USB) specification. The transceiver is further capable of transmitting and receiving signals at a frequency higher than the signals complying with standard USB specification. The transceiver is further capable of configuring itself between transmitting and receiving the higher frequency signals and the standard USB signals.

  • Dual termination serial data bus with pull-up current source
    Patent number: 6593768
    Abstract: An improved USB connection is disclosed that includes a pair of host parallel resistors connected to the USB connection at the host termination and a pair of peripheral parallel resistors connected to the USB connection at the peripheral termination. During high speed operation, the parallel resistors are switched to ground. Another aspect of the present invention is a voltage pull up apparatus for a USB connection. The apparatus includes a pull down resistor connected to the USB connection, a trickle current source attached to the USB connection, and a boost current source attached to the USB connection.
