Abstract: A bus host controller and a method thereof are provided. If a terminal device coupled to the bus is a non-periodic device, the bus host controller places a higher priority on data packet transferring request than start-of-frame (SOF) packet transferring request.

Abstract: A power supply method for an universal serial bus apparatus is provided. The USB apparatus includes an upstream port module and a plurality of downstream port modules. The power supply method comprises the following steps: setting a maximum charging port number for the downstream port modules according to the connection configuration between the upstream port module and a host, and the condition of power supply from an external power supply; detecting the coupling condition of the electronic apparatuses to the downstream port modules so as to customize a specific charging specification for one of the electronic apparatuses; respectively providing a plurality of power to the electronic apparatuses according to the specific charging specification and the maximum charging port number. Thus, the electronic apparatuses enable to be charged with maximum charging currents and operate normally under the USB specification without being affected.

Abstract: A method for configuring charging ports and a controller applying the same are disclosed. The method includes recording a maximum permission value and a permitted value, and comparing the maximum permission value and the permitted value to determine whether the interface port can be used as a charging port when a device is connected to an interface port.

Abstract: A bus host controller and a method thereof are provided. If a terminal device coupled to the bus is a non-periodic device, the bus host controller places a higher priority on data packet transferring request than start-of-frame (SOF) packet transferring request.
