Abstract

A data reception circuit removes reliance on stacked transistors providing analog logic processing. A first trigger element outputs an up signal in response to receiving an indication of receipt of a data signal by a receiving device without consideration of an output signal from the receiving device. A second trigger element outputs a down signal in response to receiving an indication of receipt of a data signal by a receiving device without consideration of an output signal from the receiving device. Switches control provision of signals to a received signal line for the receiving device in response to the outputs of the trigger elements. A blocking feedback circuit provides a blocking signal for the receiving device to effect blocking the receiving device from sending data to the sending device when the receiving device is receiving data from the sending device.
