Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment, a method of operating a bus interface circuit includes detecting a start sequence on a plurality of input terminals, determining whether a first input terminal and a second input terminal is a data terminal and a clock terminal, respectively, or whether the first input terminal and the second terminal is a clock terminal and a data terminal, respectively. The method also includes routing the first input terminal to a data terminal and the second input terminal to a clock terminal if first input terminal and the second input terminal are determined to be a data terminal and a clock terminal, respectively, and routing the first input terminal to the clock terminal and the second input terminal to the data terminal if first input terminal and the second input terminal are determined to be a clock terminal and a data terminal, respectively.
