    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 circuit includes signal conditioner circuitry, level shifter circuitry, and state detector and controller circuitry coupled between the signal conditioner circuitry and the level shifter circuitry. The state detector and controller circuitry includes receiver circuitry and a finite state machine coupled to the receiver circuitry. The finite state machine is configured to detect a first data rate from signals, control operation of the signal conditioner circuitry responsive to detecting the first data rate, and control operation of the level shifter circuitry during a second data rate.

    Abstract: An offset drift compensation circuit for correcting offset drift that changes with temperature. In one example, offset drift compensation circuit includes a low temperature offset compensation circuit and a high temperature offset circuit. The low temperature offset compensation circuit is configured to compensate for drift in offset at a first rate below a selected temperature. The high temperature offset compensation circuit is configured to compensate for drift in offset at a second rate above the selected temperature. The first rate is different from the second rate.

    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.
