Abstract: In a shared bus where communications are managed by a master device, direct slave device to slave device (S2S) communications is implemented. A first slave device wanting to communicate with a second slave device may make a S2S communication request to the master device. The request may include a requested number of words that the first slave device wishes to send over the shared bus. The master device may have a current word limit which may vary based upon operating parameters. The master device may deny the request if the requested number of words is greater than the current word limit or if it does not support S2S communications. Denial of the request may also be for other reasons, like activity over the shared bus. If the master device grants the request, the slave device may send the requested number of words to another slave device over the shared bus.

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. Other described devices may be configured as a bus master or as a slave. In one method, a 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 receiver may derive a receive clock from the transitions in order to receive and decode the sequence of symbols.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for determining at least one actuation characteristic of an imaging device. For example, one method includes determining a target distance to move a lens by an actuator to focus a scene on an image sensor, where moving the lens by the actuator causes an associated lens vibration having at least one actuation characteristic, determining a scan sequence having a plurality of successive measurements, each measurement having at least a first measurement parameter and subsequent measurement parameter, each measurement parameter including at least one step and at least one time delay, moving the lens the target distance for each successive measurement based on the measurement parameters of each successive measurement, measuring a performance indicator of each successive measurement, and determining at least one actuation characteristic based on the first measurement parameter of the measurement having the highest performance indicator.

Abstract: System, methods and apparatus are described that facilitate transmission of data, particularly between two devices within an electronic apparatus. An address list may associate each of a plurality of slave devices coupled to a control data bus with a plurality of slave device identifiers. Access to the control data bus may be controlled based on the address list such that, in a first mode of operation information may be broadcast to multiple slave devices using a first group slave device identifier and, in a second mode of operation, information may be exchanged with a single slave device using an individualized slave device identifier.

Abstract: Master and slave devices may be coupled to a control data bus. A method includes controlling data transmissions over a bus from a master device, where data bits are transcoded into symbols for transmission across two lines of the bus and a clock signal is embedded within symbol transitions of the data transmissions, and providing an interrupt period, during which one or more slave devices coupled to the bus can assert an interrupt request on a first line of the bus, within part of a heartbeat transmission by the master device over the first line and a second tine of the bus. The interrupt request may be an indicator that the asserting slave device wishes to request some action by the master device.

Abstract: System, methods and apparatus are described that facilitate transmission of data over a multi-wire data communications link, particularly between two devices within an electronic apparatus. A clock extracted from a first sequence of symbols transmitted on a first lane of a multi-lane interface is used to receive and decode the first sequence of symbols and to receive and decode data and/or symbols transmitted on a second lane of the multilane interface. The clock signal may be derived from transitions in the signaling state of N wires between consecutive pairs of symbols in the first sequence of symbols. The first lane may be encoded using N! encoding and the second lane may be a serial or N! link.

Abstract: System, methods and apparatus are described that include a serial bus, including a serial bus used for Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) and/or camera control interface (CCI) operations. The bus has a first line and a second line, a first set of devices coupled to the bus and a second set of devices coupled to the bus. A method of operating the bus includes configuring the first set of devices to use the first line for data transmissions and use the second line for a first clock signal in a first mode of operation, and configuring the second set of devices to use both the first line and the second line for data transmissions while embedding a second clock signal within symbol transitions of the data transmissions in a second mode of operation.

Abstract: System, methods and apparatus are described that facilitate transmission of data, particularly between two devices within an electronic apparatus. A method performed by a slave device coupled to a serial bus includes detecting an event related to a function of the slave device, initiating a first counter in the slave device, asserting an in-band interrupt request by driving at least one signal on the serial bus, and transmitting content of the first counter to a bus master coupled to the serial bus during an interrupt handling procedure. The first counter may count cycles of a clock used by the slave device or occurrences of a signaling state or condition on the serial bus. The content of the first counter may be used to determine a time stamp for the event.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for damping unwanted vibrations or ringing of a lens in an imaging device. For example, one method includes determining a target distance to move a lens, and dividing the target distance into multiple steps having at least a first step and a subsequent step, moving the lens, via an actuator, by the first step, thereby causing a first vibration, retrieving a damping parameter indicative of a time delay, the damping parameter being based on at least one characteristic of the actuator and the number of steps, and repeating said moving the lens at least one subsequent step after delaying the subsequent step by one of the damping parameters, each moving the lens a subsequent step causing a subsequent vibration, and the damping parameters affecting the vibration such that the first and subsequent vibrations at least in part modify each other to lower overall vibration.
