39.6.2.12 Feedback Operation

Feedback endpoints are endpoints with same the address but in different directions. This is usually used in explicit feedback mechanism in USB Audio, where a feedback endpoint is associated to one or more isochronous data endpoints to which it provides feedback service. The feedback endpoint always has the opposite direction from the data endpoint.

The feedback endpoint always has the opposite direction from the data endpoint(s). The feedback endpoint has the same endpoint number as the first (lower) data endpoint. A feedback endpoint can be created by configuring an endpoint with different endpoint size (PCKSIZE.SIZE) and different endpoint type (EPCFG.EPTYPE0/1) for the IN and OUT direction.

Example Configuration for Feedback Operation:
  • Endpoint n / IN: EPCFG.EPTYPE1 = Interrupt IN, PCKSIZE.SIZE = 64.
  • Endpoint n / OUT: EPCFG.EPTYPE0= Isochronous OUT, PCKSIZE.SIZE = 512.
