    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 bus repeater includes first and second bus ports, a first termination resistor network coupled to the first bus port, a second termination resistor network coupled to the second bus port, and a power state change detection circuit coupled to the second bus port. The power state change detection circuit is configured to detect a power state change initiated by a device coupled to the first bus port. The detection of the power state change includes a determination that a voltage on the second bus port exceeds a threshold. Responsive to detection of the power state change, the power state change detection circuit is configured cause a change in a configuration of at least one of the first or second termination resistor networks.

    Abstract: Circuits and methods for driving ERM motors are disclosed herein. An embodiment of the circuit includes an input, wherein an input signal is receivable at the input and a back EMF signal. The circuit operates in a closed loop mode when the back EMF signal is less than a lower threshold value and the difference between the value of the input signal and the back EMF signal indicates that the velocity of the motor needs to increase. The circuit operates in an open loop mode when the back EMF signal is greater than a high threshold value and the difference between the value of the input signal and the back EMF signal indicates that the velocity of the motor needs to increase.

    Abstract: A method for driving a Linear Resonant Actuator (LRA) is provided. During a first off interval, the back-emf of the LRA is measured. During a first off interval, a timer is started when the back-emf reaches a predetermined threshold, and after a predetermined delay has lapsed following the back-emf reaching the predetermined threshold during the first off interval, the LRA is driven over a drive interval having a length and drive strength. A second off interval is entered following the drive interval, and during the second off interval, the back-emf of the LRA is measured. During the second off interval, the timer is stopped when the back-emf reaches the predetermined threshold. The value from the timer that corresponds to the duration between the back-emf reaching the predetermined threshold during the first off interval and the back-emf reaching the predetermined threshold during the second off interval determines the length.
