    Abstract: Universal Serial Bus (USB) repeater circuits and methods of operating the same for communicating data signals from a first pair of data terminals to a second pair of data terminals of the repeater. In a first channel, an amplifier stage in a receiver amplifies a differential signal received at the first pair of data terminals to generate a differential signal at first and second output nodes of the receiver, and a transmitting circuit transmits a differential signal at the second pair of data terminals responsive to the differential signal at the first and second output nodes of the receiver. The receiver includes a hysteresis stage that receives an offset in opposition to the differential signal at the first and second output nodes of the receiver. End-of-packet (EOP) dribble in USB communications in the HS mode is reduced by the offset at the hysteresis stage.

    Abstract: A serial bus re-driver circuit includes an edge detector circuit and a booster circuit. The edge detector circuit is configured to detect a transition of serial bus signal. The booster circuit is coupled to the edge detector circuit, and is configured to switch current to the serial bus signal. The booster circuit includes a leading edge boost pulse generation circuit and a trailing edge boost pulse generation circuit. The leading edge boost pulse generation circuit is configured to switch a first current pulse to the serial bus signal at the transition of the serial bus signal. The trailing edge boost pulse generation circuit is configured to switch a second current pulse to the serial bus signal. The second current pulse is shorter than the first current pulse.

    Abstract: A method of operating an embedded universal serial bus (eUSB) repeater includes holding an eUSB receiver and a USB transmitter in active states and holding a USB receiver and an eUSB transmitter in standby states. The method includes receiving by the eUSB receiver a token packet indicative of transmission of a first downstream packet, and transitioning the USB receiver and the eUSB transmitter from the standby states to the active states responsive to the token packet. The method includes transmitting the token packet by the USB transmitter. The method includes receiving by the eUSB receiver a downstream packet or receiving by the USB receiver an upstream packet within a first timeout period after receiving the token packet, and transmitting the downstream packet by the USB transmitter or transmitting the upstream packet by the eUSB transmitter.
