Abstract
A system, method, and apparatus are provided for operating a device to receive a first signaling state sequence on a multi-wire interface within a first voltage range to cause the device to transition to a high-speed communication mode for receiving high-speed data on the multi-wire interface within a second, smaller voltage range before returning to a low-power communication mode when the device receives on the multi-wire interface a second sequence of two signaling states within the first voltage range to signal a turnaround command without requiring any additional signaling state within the first voltage range, where the turnaround command enables the device to transmit data from the device over the multi-wire interface by transmitting on the multi-wire interface the first sequence of signaling states within the first voltage range to cause the device to transition to a high-speed communication mode for transmitting data from the device over the multi-wire interface.
