Abstract
A selectable interface for interfacing integrated circuit modules is disclosed. The bus interface for interconnecting a first circuit module and a second circuit module includes a transmitter pair located within the first circuit module and a receiver pair located within the second circuit module. The transmitter pair, which can be selectable between a differential mode and a single-ended mode, transmits data from the first circuit module to the second circuit module. The receiver pair, which can also be selectable between a differential mode and a single-ended mode, receives data from the transmitter pair.
