ABSTRACT:
An interconnect bus system that includes an interconnect bus having a plurality of interconnect bus conductors, a reference circuit for placing a reference signal on certain of the interconnect bus conductors, and at least one electronic circuit module having a plurality of electronic circuit module conductors in addition to a configuration circuit, a bus interface, and an application circuit thereon. The electronic circuit module conductors can be in one of four physical orientations relative to the interconnect bus conductors. The configuration circuit can sense the reference signal and determine the electronic circuit module's physical orientation relative to the interconnect bus. The configuration circuit configures the bus interface based on the present physical orientation. The bus interface routes signals to and from the interconnect bus conductors on behalf of the application circuit in a manner transparent to both the interconnect bus conductors and the application circuit regardless of the present physical orientation of the electronic circuit module conductors relative to the interconnect bus conductors.
