In particular, systems, methods, and apparatus are described that facilitate the transmission of data between two devices in an electronic device. Data is transmitted as N-phase polarly encoded symbols or as packets in differently driven connectors. The mode of operation required for communicating between the two devices is determined, the encoder is selected to drive a plurality of connectors that communicatively couple the two devices, and the plurality of drivers receive encoded data from the encoder and And to drive the plurality of connectors. The switches may couple the outputs of the selected encoder to a plurality of drivers. One or more outputs of the other encoder are caused or forced to enter high impedance mode.
