Abstract: A universal serial bus (USB) transaction translator is provided along with a micro-frame synchronization method. A device interface is coupled to a device via a device bus, and a host interface is coupled to a host via a host bus. At least two buffers are configured to store data. A controller stores the data in the buffers alternately. A start-of-frame (SOF) counter is used to count the SOF packets, with the counting value of the SOF counter being compared to a predefined value. Specifically, the controller resets a SOF timer for sending the SOF packet when the counting value achieves or exceeds the predefined value, such that the SOF packet and an isochronous timestamp packet (ITP) from the host are sent at the same time. Further, the controller delays the sending of the SOF packet for a period of time according to the ITP from the host.

Abstract translation: 提供通用串行总线（USB）事务转换器以及微帧同步方法。 设备接口经由设备总线耦合到设备，并且主机接口经由主机总线耦合到主机。 至少两个缓冲区被配置为存储数据。 控制器交替地将数据存储在缓冲器中。 使用起始帧（SOF）计数器对SOF数据包进行计数，将SOF计数器的计数值与预定义的值进行比较。 具体地说，当计数值达到或超过预定值时，控制器复位用于发送SOF分组的SOF定时器，使得来自主机的SOF分组和等时时间戳分组（ITP）同时被发送。 此外，控制器根据来自主机的ITP延迟SOF分组的发送一段时间。

Abstract: A data transmission system and method are provided. The data transmission method receives a second format data packet sent by a host; decodes the second format data packet sent by the host, and translating the decoded second format data packet into a first format data packet; transmits the first format data packet to a first device; receives a transmission response sent by the first device in response to the first format data packet, determines whether to transmit the transmission response to the host, and performs a re-try flow when the transmission response does not need to be transmitted to the host. Preferably, a data transmission rate of the first device is slower than that of a second device, and the data transmission system is backward compatible to the first device, and the second format data packet is consistent with the second device.

Abstract: A hub device includes an upstream port, multiple downstream ports, a first and a second sub-hub module, a data-format detector, a transaction translator, and a controller. The upstream port is coupled to a host device supporting a first and/or a second data format. Each downstream port is coupled to one of a plurality of slave devices supporting a first and/or a second data format. The first sub-hub module supports transmission of data in the first data format. The second sub-hub module supports transmission of data in the second data format. The data-format detector detects the data format supported by the host device and the slave devices. The transaction translator transforms the data format between the first data format and the second data format. The controller determines whether to control the transaction translator to perform data-format transformation.
