}CRC-16/USB is the 16-bit CRC variant used for USB data packets.
CRC-16/USB is a 16-bit CRC model defined by polynomial 0x8005, an initial register value of 0xFFFF, and final XOR 0xFFFF. It processes reflected input bytes and reports a reflected output.
Documented application context for this model includes USB packets, Hardware validation, Protocol analyzers. The calculator above applies this exact parameter set to the current input; the published Check value below is instead the fixed verification result for ASCII 123456789.
CRC implementations are commonly verified with the ASCII input 123456789.
A model is identified by its complete parameter set, not its polynomial alone.

For the standard ASCII test input 123456789, the check value of CRC-16/USB is 0xB4C8.
CRC-16/USB uses the 16-bit polynomial 0x8005.
For CRC-16/USB, RefIn is Yes and RefOut is Yes.
CRC-16/MAXIM-DOW uses the same polynomial (0x8005), which is the usual source of mix-ups — matching the polynomial alone does not reproduce CRC-16/USB. The two models differ in initial value, so a port from one to the other needs those fields checked explicitly, not just the poly.
