Abstract
A module for asynchronous differential serial communication on a bus is disclosed. The module is connectable to the bus in a first connecting mode, wherein a non-inverting terminal of the module is connected to a non-inverted bus signal line and an inverting terminal is connected to an inverted bus signal line, and a second connecting mode given by an inverse of the first connecting mode. The module includes a detector determining the connecting mode based on the binary state of a start bit of a reception signal provided by a transceiver of the module based on a received communication signal and a binary state of a first bit of a reference signal corresponding to a voltage difference between the voltages of the signals received via the non-inverted and the inverted terminal during reception of this communication signal.
