Cross-Over Points
The Cross-Over point is defined as the intersection of t he D+ and D– single-ended signals. For differential
signals, the Cross-Over is zero crossings of the differential signal.
Downstream
The direction of data flow from the host or away from the host. A downstream port is the port on a hub
electrically farthest from the host that generates downstream data traffic from the hub. Downstream ports
receive upstream data traffic.
EOP

Eye Pattern
A representation of the USB signal that provides minimum and maximum voltage levels, as well a s
the signal jitter.
E
ye Violation
Any part of the waveform that crosses the defined eye mask.
Full-speed
USB operation at 1 2 Mb/s.
High-speed
USB operation at 480 Mb/s.
Host

platform (CPU, bus, etc.) and the operating system in use.
Host Controller
