AU9226 USB KVM Controller V1.01W 1
1. Introduction

1. .1 1 D De es sc cr ri ip pt ti io on n
AU9226 is a highly integrated single chip USB KVM controller offering users the
possibility of sharing keyboard, mouse and monitor among up to two PCs. Not like
traditional PS2 KVM devices, AU9226 uses USB as its upstream and downstream
interface to support its driver-free and plug-n-play features, which allow users to easily
install and use the KVM.
Typical application of AU9226 is under an environment, in which only one set of
monitor, keyboard and mouse is available. Applying such kind of devices in a
computing environment will not only result in a centralized control, but also reduce the
power and space consumption.

Note 1: “++” means press key rapidly, “[Scroll]++[Scroll]+1” means press “Scroll”
twice rapidly and then press “1”. If system receives “Scroll ++ Scroll” command only,
system will reset the buffer when it does not receive any input comes after within a
defined interval of time (say, 5 seconds).
Note 2: Audible feedback when beeper is ON and keep the device in silent mode
when beeper is OFF.
Note 3: n = number from 1 to 9, each represents 5 seconds’ interval latency to 60
seconds correspondingly.

The following setup was used to measure the open loop voltage gain for crystal
oscillator circuits. The feedback resistor serves to bias the circuit at its quiescent
operating point and the AC coupling capacitor, Cs, is much larger than C1 and C2.

Test Description: Latch-Up testing was performed at room ambient using an
IMCS-4600 system which applies a stepped voltage to one pin per device with all
other pins open except Vdd and Vss which were biased to 5 Volts and ground
respectively.
Testing was started at 5.0 V (Positive) or 0 V(Negative), and the DUT was biased for
0.5 seconds.
If neither the PUT current supply nor the device current supply reached the predefined
limit (DUT=0 mA , Icc=100 mA), then the voltage was increased by 0.1 Volts and the
pin was tested again.
This procedure was recommended by the JEDEC JC-40.2 CMOS Logic
standardization committee.
