An integrated circuit is provided. The integrated circuit includes a mapping circuit configured to determine a state associated with a first universal series bus (USB) communication mode based on one or both of a signal level on a first data line and a signal level on a second data line. The integrated circuit also includes a line state converter circuit configured to generate a line state associated with a second USB communication mode based on the determined state and based on one or both of the signal level on the first data line and the signal level on the second data line.

An integrated circuit is provided. The integrated circuit includes a communication-mode determination circuitry configured to detect a signal level at one or both of a first data line and a second data line and to determine whether a communication mode of the first data line and the second data line is a first universal series bus (USB) communication mode or a second USB communication mode. The integrated circuit also includes a first transceiver circuitry configured to operate in one of multiple modes, based on the communication mode determined. The integrated circuit also includes a second transceiver circuitry configured to operate in one of multiple modes, based on the communication mode determined. A maximum signal level of the first USB communication mode is greater than a maximum signal level of the second USB communication mode.

A frequency dividing circuit divides a master clock frequency by a non-integer factor to provide an output clock signal whose frequency is equal to the frequency of the master clock signal divided by that non-integer factor. In one embodiment, the circuit is operative to divide the master clock frequency by 2.5.

Apparatus for frequency dividing a master clock signal by a non-integer

Methods and systems for fully differential frequency doubling include receiving a differential input signal having a first frequency, generating a non-inverted or positive output signal having twice the frequency of the input signal, and generating an inverted or negative version of the positive output signal. The positive and negative output signals form a fully differential output. The duty ratio of the output signals substantially matches a duty ratio of the input signals. Fully differential frequency doubling can be implemented with NMOS and/or PMOS devices. The invention further provides optional circuitry for increasing an output signal level.
