Abstract
A method and device for preserving the wired-OR nature of the clock signal connection between two devices without a direct analog connection between the lines and in an infinitely scalable fashion. The method includes detecting a logic state at a first connector and a second connector and driving an appropriate connector of the device to an active state in response to determining that a connector is driving an active state. The device includes first and second connectors for communicating logic states and driving active states in response to detected logic states.
