Abstract
A pull-up circuit comprises an operational amplifier which forms part of a feedback circuit, acting to bring a pull-up circuit output equal to a reference voltage input. The pull-up circuit may form part of a USB transceiver for incorporation in a USB Device. When the supply voltage of the USB Device is sufficiently high, it is used to provide the required pull-up voltage, with the feedback circuit including the operational amplifier the USB Device is not high enough to provide the required pull-up voltage. In that case, the USB bus voltage is used to generate the reference voltage which is used as an input to the feedback circuit.
