Abstract

An apparatus and a method for range extension for a combined data and power line are provided. Further, a bus system is provided. The design is based on a supply voltage that is transmitted via the combined data and power line being refreshed by a charge pump. Further, there may be provision, by way of example, for a data signal that is transmitted via the combined data and power line to be refreshed using the likewise transmitted supply voltage.
