    Abstract: System, methods and apparatus are described that facilitate transmission of data, particularly between two devices within an electronic apparatus. Data is selectively transmitted as N-phase polarity encoded symbols or as packets on differentially driven connectors. A data transfer method comprises encoding data and control signals in a sequence of symbols to be transmitted on a plurality of connectors, and transmitting the sequence of symbols on the plurality of connectors. Each symbol may be transmitted using a combination of a phase state of a first pair of connectors, a polarity of a second pair of connectors, and a selection of at least one undriven connector. Transmission of each symbol in the sequence of symbols may cause a change of state for at least one of the plurality of connectors.

    Abstract: System, methods and apparatus are described that offer improved performance of a serial bus used for Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) and/or camera control interface (CCI) operations. CCI extension (CCIe) devices are described. CCIe devices may be configured as a bus master or as a slave. In one method, a CCIe transmitter may generate a transition number from a set of bits, convert the transition number into a sequence of symbols, and transmit the sequence of symbols in the signaling state of a two-wire serial bus. Timing information may be encoded in the transitions between symbols of consecutive pairs of symbols in the sequence of symbols. For example, each transition may cause a change in the signaling state of at least one wire of the two-wire serial bus. A CCIe receiver may derive a receive clock from the transitions in order to receive and decode the sequence of symbols.

    Abstract: To accommodate multiple masters over bus architectures supporting a single master device, a mechanism is provided for an inactive master device to trigger an IRQ signal over a shared, single line IRQ bus. A current master then polls the other inactive master devices over a shared data bus to ascertain which inactive master device is asserting the IRQ signal. Upon identifying the asserting inactive master device, the current master device grants control of the data bus to the new master device, thereby making the inactive master the new active master device.

    Abstract: To accommodate multiple masters over bus architectures supporting a single master device, a mechanism is provided for an inactive master device to assert an in-band IRQ. A current master then polls the other inactive master devices over a shared data bus to ascertain which inactive master device is asserting the IRQ. Upon identifying the asserting inactive master device, the current master device grants control of the data bus to the new master device, thereby making the inactive master the new active master device.

    Abstract: A method for performing multi-wire signaling encoding is provided in which a clock signal is encoded within symbol transitions. A sequence of data bits is converted into a plurality of m transition numbers. Each transition number is converted into a sequential symbol number from a set of sequential symbol numbers. The sequential symbol number is converted into a raw symbol that can be transmitted over a plurality of differential drivers. The raw symbol is transmitted spread over a plurality of n wires, wherein the clock signal is effectively embedded in the transmission of raw symbols since the conversion from transition number into a sequential symbol number guarantees that no two consecutive raw symbols are the same. The raw symbol is guaranteed to have a non-zero differential voltage across all pairs of the plurality of n wires.

    Abstract: Aspects of adjusting application parameters for interference mitigation are disclosed. In one aspect, a computing device is provided that employs a control system configured to detect and mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated within the computing device. More specifically, the control system is configured to detect possible EMI conditions and adjust parameters within the computing device to mitigate such EMI. In this manner, the computing device includes an aggressor application and a victim receiver. The control system is configured to analyze performance tradeoffs based on an acceptable performance level of the aggressor application and the performance degradation experienced by the victim receiver. Based on such analysis, the control system is configured to adjust parameters associated with the aggressor application to mitigate the EMI. Thus, the control system provides designers with an additional tool that may reduce the performance degradation of the victim receiver attributable to the EMI.
