Abstract
An integrated circuit is configured as a selected one of a terminated and a non-terminated bus agent for terminating a bus signal line. Reference level selection logic selects one of a first and a distinct second reference level as a selected level. The integrated circuit compares the bus signal line with the selected level to determine the state of the bus signal line.
