Abstract: A primary device includes a single-wire interface, SWI, for a single-wire connection to a secondary device; and a processor, configured to selectively connect the SWI to a supply voltage during a charging phase and to a voltage detection circuit during a subsequent sampling phase, during which the voltage detection circuit detects one or more voltages at the SWI; and determine whether an SWI module is present in the secondary device based on the detected one or more voltages.
