Abstract
The present invention discloses a USB signal output circuit having reverse current prevention mechanism. A switch circuit turns on when a switch control terminal receives a first high level voltage to output a signal from a signal input terminal to a signal output terminal. A first voltage pull-low circuit includes a passive-component high-pass filter circuit and a discharging circuit. The passive-component high-pass filter circuit couples an output terminal voltage of the signal output terminal to a pull-low control terminal. The discharging circuit turns on when a voltage of the pull-low control terminal is larger than a predetermined voltage level to discharge the switch control terminal to pull the switch control terminal to a second high level voltage. A second voltage pull-low circuit pulls the switch control terminal to a low level voltage when the output terminal voltage is larger than a reference voltage and does not have a glitch.
