The present invention relates to a communication circuit and method utilizing a single communication line. In one embodiment, a communication circuit can include: a host apparatus having a host sub-circuit and a host port; and a slave apparatus having a slave sub-circuit and a slave port, where the host and slave apparatuses are coupled by the host and slave ports via the single communication line, when the slave apparatus is in a normal working condition, the host sub-circuit receives a first controlling signal, and generates an output controlling signal for the slave sub-circuit, which generates a second controlling signal, when the slave apparatus is in an abnormal working condition, the slave sub-circuit receives a first feedback signal, and generates a feedback controlling signal for the host apparatus, and generates a second feedback signal that regulates the first controlling signal such that the slave apparatus recovers to the normal working condition.
