Method and systems for configuration and control of an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) bus interface are described. An electronic device that may be connected to an external battery device via a modified connector is also described. The connector has multiple interconnect pins, and one of the interconnect pins of the connector is multiplexed to receive data operation and interrupt or signaling operation on a single line. The single line is configured to not only detect a connection with the external battery device, but also to perform data operations including read/write operations between the electronic device and the external battery device.

Systems and methods for dynamic configuration and control of bus interface

A processing device of a mobile device determines an activity level for a hardware component of the mobile device based on activity information associated with the hardware component. The processing device computes a score for the hardware component based on the activity level and a power consumption value of the hardware component, wherein the power consumption value indicates an amount of power used by the hardware component. The processing device determines whether to deactivate the hardware component based on the score.
