Abstract: An apparatus is provided for charging a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device according to an optimal charging mode. The apparatus includes a charging module that is configured to obtain a descriptor from the USB device upon detection of the USB device on a USB bus. The charging module includes one or more descriptor entries disposed in a memory and a controller. The one or more descriptor entries include descriptor data, for matching the descriptor to a specific descriptor entry, and charging data, that specifies the optimal charging mode for the USB device. The controller is coupled to the memory, and is configured to match the descriptor to the specific descriptor entry, and is configured to initiate the optimal charging mode on the USB bus according to the charging data.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for coupling a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device and a USB host. The apparatus includes a memory and a controller. The memory includes one or more descriptor entries. The controller is configured to obtain a descriptor of the USB device upon detection of the USB device on a USB bus, and compare the descriptor to a specific descriptor entry to generate a comparing result. Then the controller enables or disables a link path between the USB host and the USB device according the comparing result.

Abstract: A control chip coupled to a first input/output pin and a second input/output pin and including a first interface module, a second interface module, a first switching unit, and a control unit is provided. The first interface module includes a first pin electrically connected to the first input/output pin and a second pin. The second interface module includes a third pin. The control unit controls the first switching unit to turn on a first path between the second pin and the second input/output pin or a second path between the third pin and the second input/output pin. When the first path is turned on, the first interface module controls the voltage levels of the first and second input/output pins. When the second path is turned on, the second interface module controls the voltage level of the second input/output pin.
