ABSTRACT:
A computer data bus interface control selectively connects a computer data bus to functional components of a circuit board or isolates the bus from the functional components. The bus interface control also selectively provides pull-up voltage to the bus, as needed. The connection selection and the pull-up voltage selection can be made, for example, based on whether the board is installed in a system slot or a peripheral slot of the bus.
