Abstract: Circuits and methods for determining the characteristics of swappable pins in a peripheral in a 1-Wire or similar single-conductor system, thereby allowing each one of two pins to be either an I/O pin (connected to an I/O line) or a CAP pin (connected to a storage capacitor). Embodiments may utilize a hybrid buffer circuit that utilizes an effectively bi-directional PFET pull-up device coupled between the swappable pins A and B. Two open-drain NFETs pull-down devices are used, one on either side of the PFET and coupled to a respective pin (A or B), but with only one NFET being selected to be operable based on pin-determination flag signals from the pin detection circuitry. Such a hybrid buffer circuit would consume significantly less IC area than two complete conventional buffers, resulting in less leakage and less yield loss.
