Abstract

See full text

In a system in which a host device is in communication with a peripheral device through communications device connected to a USB port, the USB host device polls the communications device to constantly regardless of the power state of the USB communications device. While in the low power mode, the USB communications device generates NAK packets, indicating that the device has no data to send. The NAK packets are generated in hardware, thereby allowing the USB host continues operating while unaware of the state of the peripheral device. External events can be used to trigger the USB communications device to exit the low power state without communicating with the USB host, and without the USB host altering its behavior.
