ABSTRACT:
A circuit for detecting and verifying a presence of a terminating device for a high speed data transmission line. The circuit contains a first cable detector which generates a first signal if a first cable is present. A second cable detector generates a second signal if a second cable is present. The terminating device is contained in a plurality of resistor packs, each of the which contains an extra resistor. A terminating device detector senses the extra resistor presence, thereby detecting the presence of the resistor packs. The terminating device detector generates an ALL-EQUIPPED signal and a NON-EQUIPPED signal, the ALL-EQUIPPED signal is generated when all of the plurality of resistor packs are present, the NON-EQUIPPED signal is generated when all of the plurality of resistor packs are absent. Finally, a verifier circuit receives the first signal, the second signal, the ALL-EQUIPPED signal and the NON-EQUIPPED signal. The verifier circuit verifies that if the ALL-EQUIPPED signal is present then only one of the first signal or the second signal is present, or, if the NON-EQUIPPED signal is present both the first signal and the second signal are present.
