In an example, a method of operating a repeater having an isolation barrier to isolate a host side of the repeater from a peripheral side of the repeater, the repeater operable to be coupled to a universal serial bus (USB), includes causing the host side to enter into a suspend mode. The method also includes, responsive to entering the suspend mode, disabling a host isolation transceiver at the host side. The method includes periodically enabling the host isolation transceiver to transmit a data signal from the host side to the peripheral side. The method includes exiting the suspend mode. The method also includes enabling the host isolation transceiver.
