Abstract
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.
