Abstract
Line-conducted interface arrangement having at least three signal lines connected between a host and a device, a detector which is connected to the signal lines at a device end of the interface arrangement and which detects an interface configuration prescribed at the host, and a switch controlled by the detector to adapt the device to the interface configuration prescribed at the host.
Claims13
A line-conducted interface arrangement comprising:
- at least three signal lines connected between a host and a device;
- a detector which is connected to the signal lines at a device end of the interface arrangement, and detects an interface configuration prescribed at the host;
- and
- a switch controlled by the detector to adapt the device to the interface configuration prescribed at the host.
1 more element
A method for operating a line-conducted interface arrangement connected between a host and a device, for at least two different interface standards, comprising the steps of:
- after the host has been contact-connected to the device, the device ascertaining, on two predetermined signal lines, a presence of an operating voltage made available by the host;
- and
- the device then determining, by monitoring a reset signal line, an operation for which the host is provided, in accordance with the at least two different interface standards.
