Abstract
An adaptive bandwidth bus is provided that switches between a current mode of operation and a voltage mode of operation. Furthermore, related methods include transmitting a data signal in a current mode or a voltage mode and transmitting a control signal to indicate whether the signal should be transmitted in the current mode or the voltage mode.
