Abstract
An integrated circuit is provided. The integrated circuit includes a communication-mode determination circuitry configured to detect a signal level at one or both of a first data line and a second data line and to determine whether a communication mode of the first data line and the second data line is a first universal series bus (USB) communication mode or a second USB communication mode. The integrated circuit also includes a first transceiver circuitry configured to operate in one of multiple modes, based on the communication mode determined. The integrated circuit also includes a second transceiver circuitry configured to operate in one of multiple modes, based on the communication mode determined. A maximum signal level of the first USB communication mode is greater than a maximum signal level of the second USB communication mode.
