Abstract: An integrated circuit that is capable of bidirectional communication with an external host device via various communication protocols. In order to determine which communication protocols the incoming signal is using, the integrated circuit further includes an interface detector. When the interface detector determines that the incoming signal represents a portion of a transaction that uses a first communication protocol, the integrated circuit permits the first communication protocol engine to communicate in the transaction. Likewise, when the interface detector determines that the incoming signal represents a portion of a transaction that uses the second communication protocol, the integrated circuit permits the second communication protocol engine to communicate in the transaction. This allows the integrated circuit to detect the protocol regardless of whether one or two package terminals are used in the protocol.
