Abstract
Various embodiments are disclosed relating to techniques for exchanging data and/or power between a plurality of devices. In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, a device may receive power via a voltage terminal of an interface. The interface may also comprise at least one configuration channel terminal. The device may determine to terminate power reception via the voltage terminal causing a current through the configuration channel terminal to decrease below a threshold, and the device may determine to supply power to the voltage terminal.
