Abstract
A method includes transmitting, by a controller of a storage device, a first bit on a data line. The method further includes responsive to transmitting the first bit on the data line, determining, by the controller, a line level of the data line. The method further includes responsive to determining the line level of the data line, determining, by the controller, whether the line level of the data line corresponds to the first bit and responsive to determining that the line level of the data line does not correspond to the first bit, determining, by the controller, that a collision has occurred on the data line.
