USB Killer "overview" waveform. The peak-to-peak AC voltage is 172 V, with a 138 V DC bias, giving a total peak voltage of 310 V. DC bias amplitude gradually decreases as stored energy goes down. The pulse stops after 20 seconds.

   USB Killer waveform captured - 4 kHz inverse sawtooth wave, 622 ns rise time, 172 volts AC peak-to-peak. The sawtooth wave itself is riding on a 138 volts DC bias, giving a total peak voltage of 310 volts AC + DC. The DC bias decreases as the stored energy goes down, the pulse stops after 20 seconds.

   Unlike the original version, this particular variant uses a positive, not negative surge, and also adds a huge DC bias to the pulse. Its designer must have spent much time on improving its destructiveness. And curiously, it attacks only D-, not D+ data line, not sure if it's a manufacturing defect, or an intentional attempt to concentrate energy on a single line. #electronics
