At the same time, however, there is a constant voltage at the first input node, so that a distinction can be made between the two interface protocols with the aid of the detector, for example the comparator. By specifying a suitably dimensioned resistor, the voltage at the first input node can be approximately selected so that confusion of the signal with a data signal in accordance with one of the cut ⁇ protocols can be excluded.
