a host-side squelch detector;
a peripheral-side squelch detector;
a host-side receiver and a host-side transmitter, each coupled to the host-side squelch detector; and
a peripheral-side receiver and a peripheral-side transmitter, each coupled to the peripheral side squelch detector,
wherein each of the peripheral-side squelch detector, the host-side receiver, the host-side transmitter, the peripheral-side receiver, and the peripheral-side transmitter are configured to be inactive for a threshold time period after a set time period responsive to the host-side squelch detector determining that the micro frame discludes a data packet.
