Abstract
A modular portable device system and method improves the quality of the interface between a core device and an add-on module via an interconnection system specifically applicable to modular systems. A multi-pin connector array accessible from outside the base device is configured and located to electrically connect to a mating array on the add-on module when the two devices are docked. In an embodiment, the multi-pin connector array includes a command/control pin configured to support multiple functions such as, but not limited to, device detection, interrupt functions, mode changes and wake functions.
