Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a first transceiver of multiple simultaneous bidirectional (SBD) transceivers that is coupled to a second transceiver across a channel. A signal detection circuit is coupled to a first receiver, a first transmitter, and to an I/O pad of the first transceiver. The signal detection circuit deactivates the first receiver. The signal detection circuit activates an activation circuit in response to deactivating the first receiver. The signal detection circuit detects, using the activation circuit, whether the second transmitter enters a transmission mode based on a transmission status of the first transmitter and on voltage transitions detected over the I/O pad from the second transmitter.
