ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for providing serial interface capability that detects whether another communications system transmits or receives data on a particular node, and in response, automatically selects to either receive or transmit data on that node. An interface circuit is included that determines whether a particular node is coupled to a receiver circuit or a driver circuit based on the voltage level detected on that node. Based on this determination, the interface circuit is configured to either transmit or receive data on that node. This allows the interface circuit to interact with differently configured communications systems without the need for special cables, or for user intervention.
