Patent ID: 11599496

Abstract:
An information handling system includes an identification resistor, calibration circuitry, and a system-on-a-chip (SOC). The SOC sets the calibration line to a first digital state to place the calibration circuitry in an inventory mode. While the calibration circuitry is in the inventory mode, the SOC determines an inventory amount of time to charge the capacitor to a voltage substantially equal to a threshold voltage. The SOC then sets the calibration line to a second digital state to place the calibration circuitry in a calibration mode. While the calibration circuitry is in the calibration mode, the SOC determines a calibration amount of time to charge the capacitor to the voltage substantially equal to the threshold voltage. The SOC determines a resistance of the identification resistor based on the inventory amount of time and the calibration amount of time. The SOC also determines bit strapping information corresponding to the determined resistance.
