A USB circuit device prevents reverse current while complying with USB
specifications. A USB circuit device includes a connector unit to which a
USB device is connected; a power supplying unit supplying power with the
USB device through the connector unit; a switching unit flowing current
induced into the connector unit from the USB device, into a ground
selectively; and a controller controlling the switching unit to flow the
current induced into the connector unit, into the ground if a level of
the power provided with the USB device by the power supplying unit is
less than a predetermined value. Accordingly, there is provided a USB
circuit device for preventing reverse current from an external device and
capable of protecting the circuit from over current with satisfaction to
a USB specification.
