A device for interconnecting and multiplexing a plurality of interfaces is
disclosed. In the preferred embodiment, three serial communications ports
are interfaced such that any two may be interconnected for
communications. A novel circuit comprising a plurality of buffers is
employed to allow selection of the interconnection scheme by a
controller. The design is scalable and is characterized by low cost, low
printed circuit board area requirements, and graceful function. In the
preferred embodiment, a PDA, wireless transceiver, and cradle interface
of a personal communications device are effectively interconnected and
multiplexed.
