    Abstract: One or more characteristics of devices are ascertained in accordance with one or more aspects of the disclosure. As may be consistent with one or more embodiments, the attachment of an external circuit to an input port is detected based on a resistance value presented by the external circuit. A resistance range that includes the resistance value presented at the input port is determined, in response to detecting the attachment, by dynamically coupling one or more of a plurality of resistor-based circuits relative to the input port. A signal presented by the external circuit on the input port is coded based on the determined resistance range, using one or more of the resistor-based circuits, and the code is used to identify a type of the external circuit. These aspects can provide for the communication of power and data with a variety of different types of external circuits.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the disclosure are directed to methods and apparatuses involving providing a clock signal. As consistent with one or more embodiments herein, a sawtooth waveform signal is generated in a manner that facilitates low power operation. In some implementations, the sawtooth waveform signal is generated using an oscillator that operates without necessarily employing R-C circuits and/or without rail-to-rail voltage supply, such as via a nonlinear oscillator. The sawtooth waveform signal is used to generate a trapezoidal waveform signal, and a clock signal is generated using the trapeziodal waveform signal.
