ABSTRACT:
An interface between a card-type peripheral device and a host machine, such as a PC, determines the operational supply voltage required to operate the peripheral device prior to the host machine supplying the operational supply voltage to the peripheral device. The host machine first receives information stored on the peripheral device specifying the operational voltage required to operate the peripheral device. The host machine then generates the proper operational supply voltage and provides it to the peripheral device. The interface prevents damage to the peripheral device due to the host machine supplying an incorrect operational voltage.
