Abstract:
A method, control circuit and printing system to control data communications with a plurality of integrated circuits. The method comprises receiving a control signal indicating that a first integrated circuit in the plurality of integrated circuits has been connected to an interface; pausing data communication between a processor and a second integrated circuit in the plurality of circuits over a data bus; and sending an enable signal to transition a switch from an open state to a closed state to connect a power supply to the interface while data communication with the plurality of integrated circuits over the data bus is paused.

Claim (Index 9):
A printing system comprising:\n a processor; a power supply; an interface for removably coupling at least one integrated circuit to the printing system; and interface circuitry to control said coupling, the interface circuitry comprising:\n a switch to connect the power supply to the interface in response to an enable signal; \n a resistor to bias a voltage at the interface when the power supply is disconnected and the interface is disconnected from the integrated circuit; \n a comparator to compare the voltage at the interface with a reference voltage, \n wherein a control signal output by the comparator changes in response to a connection between the interface and the integrated circuit when the power supply is disconnected from the interface, and wherein the processor is configured to pause data communication via the interface in response to the control signal.
