Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit technology, and in particular to a signal transmission circuit based on a USB interface. Background Technology
[0002] As the primary medium for data transmission, USB cables present dual challenges of long-distance transmission and system compatibility due to their physical limitations. The standard USB transmission distance is typically no more than 5 meters.

Using a USB hub chip for signal shaping and driving is the mainstream solution to overcome distance limitations, but it introduces new problems, namely, some computers have poor compatibility with specific hub chips, causing devices to be unrecognized when connected to the hub.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] The power control module includes: USB port power switch chip U1, LDO power chip U2, and USB-HUB chip U3;
[0028] The USB port power switch chip U1 is model CH217K, which has six pins: VIN, ISET, EN, VOUT, GND, and FLAG. The VIN pin of the USB port power switch chip U1 is connected to the main power supply terminal, the ISET pin is grounded through the second resistor R2, the EN pin is connected to the main power supply terminal through the first resistor R1, the FLAG pin is connected to the USB-HUB chip U3, the GND pin is grounded, the VOUT pin is connected to the LDO power chip U2, and the VOUT pin of the USB port power switch chip U1 is also connected to the secondary power supply terminal.
[0029] In this embodiment, the USB port power switch chip U1 can be used for power control of ports such as computers, USB hosts, USB hubs, and chargers. The current limiting threshold can be adjusted by an external resistor (i.e., the second resistor R2) to achieve circuit overcurrent protection, overtemperature protection, and undervoltage protection.
[0030] In this embodiment, the VIN pin of the USB port power switch chip U1 connects the main power supply to the circuit. The ISET pin determines the output current of the VOUT pin based on the resistance value of the second resistor R2, thereby reducing the main power supply voltage to the secondary power supply voltage. The secondary power supply then supplies power to the subsequent circuits, further achieving overcurrent and overvoltage protection.
[0031] Furthermore, the VIN pin of the USB port power switch chip U1 is also grounded through the first capacitor C1, and the VOUT pin is also grounded through the second capacitor C2.

[0035] The USB-HUB chip U3 is model CH334F, mainly used for USB host port expansion, and widely used in computers, laptops and peripheral applications.

[0036] Furthermore, the VDD33 pin of the USB-HUB chip U3 is also grounded through the fifth capacitor C5, the 5V pin is also grounded through the sixth capacitor C6, and the OVCUR pin is also connected to the third-level power supply terminal through the fourth resistor R4.
[0037] The crystal oscillator Y1 has four pins: X1, X2, and two GND pins. The GND pins are grounded. The X1 pin is connected to the XI pin of the USB-HUB chip U3, and the X2 pin is connected to the XO pin of the USB-HUB chip U3.
[0038] In this embodiment, crystal oscillator Y1 is used to provide a clock signal to USB-HUB chip U3.
[0039] Furthermore, the X1 pin of the crystal oscillator Y1 is also grounded through the eighth capacitor C8, and the X2 pin is also grounded through the seventh capacitor C7.
[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the voltage of the main power input is reduced to the secondary power supply through the USB port power switch chip U1. The voltage of the secondary power supply is then reduced to the tertiary power supply through the LDO power chip U2, and the voltage stability is continuously improved. Finally, the voltage of the tertiary power supply provides a stable operating voltage for the logic control of the USB-HUB chip U3 and the switching module.
[0041] The analog switching module includes: a first analog switching switch U4 and a second analog switching switch U5;
[0042] The first analog switch U4 is an SGM7222 with ten pins: S, HSD1+, HSD2+, D+, GND, D-, HSD2-, HSD1-, OE, and V+. The S pin of the first analog switch U4 is connected to the device connection terminal, the HSD2+ pin is connected to the DM1 pin of the USB-HUB chip U3, the GND pin is grounded, the V+ pin is connected to the three-level power supply connection terminal, the OE pin is grounded through the sixth resistor R6, the HSD2- pin is connected to the DP1 pin of the USB-HUB chip U3, the HSD1+ and HSD1- pins are both floating, and the D+ and D- pins are connected to the second analog switch U5.
[0043] Furthermore, the S pin of the first analog switching switch U4 is also grounded through the fifth resistor R5, and the V+ pin is also grounded through the ninth capacitor C9.
[0044] The second analog switch U5 is model SGM7222, which has ten pins: S pin, HSD1+ pin, HSD2+ pin, D+ pin, GND pin, D- pin, HSD2- pin, HSD1- pin, OE pin, and V+ pin.

[0045] Furthermore, the V+ pin of the second analog switching switch U5 is also grounded through the tenth capacitor C10.
[0046] In this embodiment, as Figures 3-5 As shown, the device connection terminal is used to connect to the device CPU, and the computer connection terminal is used to connect to the computer CPU. When the device CPU outputs a low-level signal (i.e., IO1 is in a low-level state), on the one hand, the HSD1+ pin and D+ pin of the first analog switch U4 are internally connected, and the HSD1- pin and D- pin are internally connected; on the other hand, the HSD1+ pin and D+ pin of the second analog switch U5 are internally connected, and the HSD1- pin and D- pin are internally connected. The HSD1+ pin (USB-DP) and HSD1- pin (USB-DM) of the second analog switch U5 are connected to the device CPU, and the D+ pin (COM-DP) and D- pin (COM-DM) of the second analog switch U5 are connected to the computer CPU. Therefore, at this time, the device and computer are in a direct connection state (the device CPU and computer CPU are directly connected).
[0047] When the device CPU outputs a high-level signal (i.e., IO1 is in a high-level state), on the one hand, the HSD2+ pin and D+ pin of the first analog switch U4 are internally connected, and the HSD2- pin and D- pin are internally connected; on the other hand, the HSD2+ pin and D+ pin of the second analog switch U5 are internally connected, and the HSD2- pin and D- pin are internally connected. The HSD2+ pin (USB1+) and HSD2- pin (USB1-) of the first analog switch U4 are connected to the USB-HUB chip U3; the HSD2+ pin (USB-H-DPU) and HSD2- pin (USB-H-DMU) of the second analog switch U5 are connected to the USB-HUB chip U3. Therefore, the connection path between the device and the computer is broken at this time. Instead, the device first connects to the USB-HUB chip U3, and then the USB-HUB chip U3 connects to the computer (equivalent to the device, USB-HUB chip U3, and computer being connected in series).
[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
