An error handling method for a transmission interface connecting between a first device and a second device for performing data transmission between the first device and the second device, wherein a connection type between the transmission interface and the first device is a direct interface (DI) and the connection type between the transmission interface and the second device is an indirect interface (II), and the error handling method comprises: when an error is detected at the direct interface, reporting an error event to a host of the first device; when an error is detected at the indirect interface, attempting to handle the error without letting the host discover it; and when the error detected at the indirect interface is determined as unable to be solved, reporting another error event to the host.

Error handling method and associated error handling architecture for transmission interfaces

A USB interface system capable of automatically adjusting connection speed and power consumption capability and a method thereof are provided. The method includes configuring a slave device to perform a first handshake procedure with a main device, and communicate with the main device by using a first connection specification; detecting a first power-off event by using a slave power detection module; when the first power-off event occurs, recording first power-off information by the memory unit. If the slave device is re-connected to the main device, the slave power detection module is configured to perform a second handshake process with the main device, and determine to re-communicate with the main device in a second connection specification different from the first connection specification according to the first power-off information.

USB interface system capable of automatically adjusting connection speed and power consumption capabilities and method thereof

A data-transmission-format conversion circuit has a first data transmission interface, a second data transmission interface, and a control circuit. The control circuit is coupled to the first data transmission interface and the second data transmission interface for processing data-format conversions between the first data transmission interface and the second data transmission interface. The control circuit is further used to control the second data transmission interface to switch from a first corresponding power mode to a second corresponding power mode when the first data transmission interface is switched from a first power mode to a second power mode. The control circuit is further used to control the second data transmission interface to switch from the first corresponding power mode to a third corresponding power mode when the first data transmission interface is switched from the first power mode to a third power mode.
