Abstract
A method for detecting a receiver on a computer bus, comprises the steps of: applying a low voltage state on transmission lines of the computer bus using a voltage mode driver; applying a high voltage state on the transmission lines using the voltage mode driver; determining a voltage rate change for transmission voltages on the transmission lines; and determining the presence of the receiver on the computer bus as a function of the voltage rate change.
