Abstract

A terminating resistor circuit of a USB port and an operation method thereof are provided. The terminating resistor circuit includes a terminating resistor, a terminating switch, and an energy storage control circuit. The terminating resistor and the terminating switch are connected in series between a configuration channel pin of the USB port and a first reference voltage, and the energy storage control circuit is coupled to a control end of the terminating switch. During a charging period in a configuration detection period, the energy storage control circuit stores charge from the configuration channel pin to obtain a stored electrical energy, and during a discharging period in the configuration detection period, the energy storage control circuit turns on the terminating switch by using the stored electrical energy.
