Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 11:
12. A method for operating an apparatus, the method comprising:
communicating, by a controller, with a power device by a first modulation mode;
detecting, by the controller, a failure condition between the controller and the power device; and
in response to the detection of the failure condition;
communicating with the power device by a second modulation mode;
determining a number of cycles to communicate with the power device by the second modulation mode; and
returning to communicate with the power device by the first modulation mode after a lapse of the determined number of cycles,

wherein the first modulation mode comprises capacitive modulation, and the second modulation mode comprises resistive modulation.
