Abstract

An apparatus and method for a Universal Serial Bus (USB) isolating device. An USB isolating device includes a downstream facing circuit and a upstream facing circuit. The downstream facing circuit is coupled to a peripheral device via a first pair of signals and is configured for detecting a speed at which the peripheral device is operating based on a first voltage configuration on the first pair of signals. The upstream facing circuit is coupled to the downstream facing circuit and a host/hub via a second pair of signals and is configured for communicating with the downstream facing circuit on the speed of the peripheral device and adaptively creating a second voltage configuration on the second pair of signals to facilitate the host/hub to adapt to the speed of the peripheral device.
