Abstract
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.
