OPERATING M-PHY COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL OVER UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS (USB) INTERFACE, AND RELATED DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

Operating M-PHY communications protocol over a USB interface and related devices, systems, and methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, an electronic device is configured to operate using a M-PHY standard. The device comprises a communications interface having a plurality of data paths conforming to the M-PHY standard and a USB connector having a plurality of pins. The plurality of pins comprises a first receive pin electrically coupled to a M-PHY RXDN data path of the communications interface. The plurality of pins comprises a second receive pin electrically coupled to a M-PHY RXDP data path of the communications interface. The plurality of pins comprises a first transmit pin electrically coupled to a M-PHY TXDN data path of the communications interface and a second transmit pin electrically coupled to a M-PITY TXDP data path of the communications interface. Additionally, various methods of insertion detection and power delivery are disclosed.
