I don't know anything about this, but "Reset From Suspended State" is part of Appendix C in the USB 2.0 spec. Looks valid to me.. Quoting the relevant section for those who don't have that spec at hand: C.2.1 Reset From Suspended State As can be seen from Figure C-2, the device wakes up from the Suspended state as soon as it sees a K or an SE0 on the bus. A J would be indistinguishable from idle on the bus that a suspended device sees normally. On seeing a K, the device will initiate a resume process. For the details of this process, see Section 7.1.7.7. On seeing an SE0, the device could enter the reset handshake procedure, so it starts timer T0. The actual reset handshake is only started after seeing a continuous assertion of SE0 for at least 2.5 μs (T FILTSE0 ). The loop between the blocks with “Clear timer T1” and “Run timer T1” represents this filtering. If the device has not detected a continuous SE0 before timer T0 exceeds the value of T UCHEND - T UCH , the device goes back into the Suspended state. A device coming from suspend most probably had its high-speed clock stopped to meet the power requirements for a suspended device (see Section 7.2.3). Therefore, it may take some time to let the clock settle to a level of operation where it is able to perform the reset detection and handshake with enough precision. In the state diagram, a time symbol T WTCLK is used to have the device wait for a stable clock. This symbol is not part of the USB 2.0 specification and does not appear in Chapter 7. It is an implementation specific detail of the reset detection state diagram for the upstream facing port, where it is marked with a asterisk (*). T WTCLK should have a value somewhere between 0 and 5.0 ms. This allows at least 1.0 ms time to detect the continuous SE0. If the device has seen an SE0 signal on the bus for at least T FILTSE0 , then it can safely assume to have detected a reset and can start the reset handshake. Bjørn
