<p>A method and mechanism for communicating data in either a single ended or a differential mode on a same data bus. A transmitter is configured to receive a plurality of data bits in a single ended mode and a clock signal. A mode selector indicates whether the received data is to be conveyed in a single ended mode or a differential mode. If the mode selector indicates single ended mode, the received plurality of data bits are conveyed with a differential clock signal corresponding to the received clock signal. If the mode selector indicates differential mode, the transmitter converts the received data to a differential form prior to conveyance. A receiver is configured to receive a plurality of data bits and a clock signal. A mode selector indicates whether the received data is to be received as single ended data or differential data. If the mode selector indicates single ended mode, the received data is conveyed as single ended data. If the mode selector indicates differential mode, the received data is converted from differential form to single ended form and conveyed in single ended mode.</p> |
