Abstract

A universal serial bus (USB) hub with a host bridge function and a control method thereof are provided. The USB hub utilizes a host bridge controller to connect two upstream ports so that two host devices connected to the two upstream ports are capable of transmitting/receiving data each other synchronously, thereby increasing usage convenience and flexibility and making full use of the tow upstream ports.
