Abstract:
A system and method consistent with the present disclosure includes a master device, bus interface link, and slave device. The master device includes a power supply and a detection unit to detect an impedance of the power supply. The inverter provides a first path to the power supply on a first stage of a clock signal and. Further, the inverter provides a second path to a first ground line on a second stage of a clock signal. The bus interface link couples the master device to a slave device. Additionally, a bi-directional communications line is coupled to the bus interface link. A gating component provides a second ground line to the power supply through the first path. Furthermore, a receiver determines bit values from a plurality of clock data signals transmitted from the master device.
