USB transceivers are a type of circuit chip that prepares, transmits and receives data from another transceiver.
What do USB transceivers do?
A transceiver is a device in which both a transmitter and a receiver are combined. They share common circuitry and are housed in a single device. The term "transceiver" means that the device has a transmit and receive function that helps the user to encode and decode data, and indicate where errors are present.
Applications of transceivers
In the past, transceivers were commonly used to interface (join together) computers to peripheral devices such as modems, printers, keyboards, joysticks, and mice. Since this type of application is now fulfilled by universal serial bus (USB), transceivers are used in applications such as GPS, glucose meters, barcode scanners, automotive telematics, set-top boxes, and gaming devices. This is mainly because their small size and portability allows for easy transfer between the USB and device.
Description:
A range of RS-232 Line Transceivers which meet
or exceed the requirements of the TIA/EIA-232-F and ITU v.28 standards. These devices generally include ESD protection of up to ±15 kV (Human-Body Model), ±8 kV (Contact Discharge) and most incorporate charge ...
Description:
Texas Instruments USB hub Controller devices provide multiple
downstream ports in compliance with the USB 2.0 specification. As they are implemented as digital state machines rather than microcontrollers, no software programming is required. Fully-compliant USB transceivers are integrated into the ...
