    Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic system includes a processor, a memory in communication with the processor, a bus in communication with the processor, an Express Card controller coupled to the bus, the Express Card controller providing an interface to an external device, a USB3 controller coupled to the bus and in communication with the Express Card controller, and a PCIE controller coupled to the bus and in communication with the Express Card controller. The Express Card controller may be configured to determine whether the external device is a USB3 device or a PCIE device and to switch between the USB3 controller and the PCIE controller based on the state of a USB3 select pin strap. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an arbitration circuit with virtual link state machines to virtualize link states associated with multiple communication protocol stacks. The apparatus further includes a physical circuit coupled to the arbitration circuit and to interface with a physical link, where the physical circuit, in response to a retraining of the physical link, is to cause a plurality of the virtual link state machines to synchronize with corresponding virtual link state machines associated with a second side of the physical link, and where at least one of the communication protocol stacks is to remain in a low power state during the retraining and the synchronization. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices can include a first die comprising a first arbitration and multiplexing logic, a first protocol stack associated with a first interconnect protocol, and a second protocol stack associated with a second interconnect protocol. A second die comprising a second arbitration and multiplexing logic. A multilane link connects the first die to the second die. The second arbitration and multiplexing logic can send a request to the first arbitration and multiplexing logic to change a first virtual link state associated with the first protocol stack. The first arbitration and multiplexing logic can receive, from across the multilane link, the request from the first die indicating a request to change the first virtual link state; determine that the first interconnect protocol is ready to change a physical link state; and change the first virtual link state according to the received request while maintaining a second virtual link state.
