SSIC device and link control method for SSIC device

摘要

An SSIC (SuperSpeed Inter-Chip) device comprises a detecting circuit operable to execute at least one of a first and a second detection processes and generate a detection result, wherein the first detection process is operable to detect an SSIC compatible object and the second detection process is operable to detect whether the SSIC compatible object satisfies at least one of a de-link state and a re-link state, a control circuit operable to generate a control signal according to the detection result, and a Mobile-Physical-Layer circuit operable to execute at least one of the following steps: if the control signal indicates that the SSIC compatible object is detected and satisfies the de-link state, disconnecting a normal connection between the SSIC device and the SSIC host; and if the control signal indicates that the SSIC compatible object is detected and satisfies the re-link state, connecting the SSIC device with the SSIC host.

1. An SSIC (SuperSpeed Inter-Chip) device capable of actively disconnecting a normal connection between the SSIC device and an SSIC host, comprising:
a detecting circuit operable to carry out at least one of a first detection process and a second detection process and generate a detection result accordingly, in which the first detection process is operable to detect an SSIC compatible object and the second detection process is operable to detect whether the SSIC compatible object satisfies a prescribed state including at least one of a de-link state and a re-link state; a control circuit operable to generate a control signal according to the detection result; and an M-PHY (Mobile Physical Layer) circuit operable to carry out at east one of several steps including the following steps:
when the control signal indicates that the SSIC compatible object is detected and satisfies the de-link state, actively disconnecting the normal connection between the SSIC device and the SSIC host according to the control signal; andwhen the control signal indicates that the SSIC compatible object is detected and satisfies the re-link state, actively connecting the SSIC device with the SSIC host according to the control signal.
