Abstract
A method of operating an embedded USB2 (eUSB2) repeater includes receiving a downstream packet at a USB2 port and transitioning a USB transmitter from an idle state to a standby state responsive to receiving the downstream packet. The method further includes transitioning the USB transmitter from the standby state to an active state if an upstream packet is received at an eUSB2 port within a first time period of receiving the downstream packet and transmitting the upstream packet. The method also includes transitioning the USB transmitter from the active state to the standby state after transmission of the upstream packet. The method also includes transitioning the USB transmitter from the standby state to the idle state if more upstream packets are not received at the eUSB2 port within a second time period.
