1. Field of the Disclosure
The present disclosure relates to electronic systems, and more particularly to electronic systems comprising an integrated circuit transceiver.
2. Description of the Related Art
Hand-held systems typically have a system power connection used to charge a rechargeable battery. Many newer systems support data transfer standards that specify a power connection as part of the standard. The use of a data transfer standard, such as the Universal Serial Bus (USB) Standard, in systems that are independently powered has resulted in the inclusion of at least two power pins on hand-held systems. While it is desirable that these systems be compliant with certain data transfer standards, such as the USB standard, the additional pin count is disadvantageous. Accordingly, it would be advantageous to have a method and system for reducing the number of pins needed by such a system.
