Abstract: A transceiver is disclosed including a transmitter designed to output a first signal according to a physical communication protocol, and to output a second signal comprising at least one cryptographic datum. The first and the second signal may be overlaid onto one another as an overlay signal at the output of the transceiver, and may comply with the physical communication protocol. The overlay signal may be received and processed by a receiver.

Abstract: The present application relates to a method for generating a bus transmission signal, which transitions between a dominant state, a suppressive state and a recessive state, and a corresponding circuit. The method comprises receiving a transmission control signal, which transitions between the dominant state and the recessive state, detecting a first state transition of the transmission control signal which is one of a dominant-to-recessive state transition and a recessive-to-dominant state transition and consecutively generating a plurality of transmitter control signals based on the transmission control signal, the first state transition and a plurality of delays and controlling a transmitter to transmit the bus transmission signal based on the plurality of transmitter control signals. The plurality of delays has a sequence tuple comprising a dominant-to-recessive sequence and a recessive-to-dominant sequence and a suppressive delay only included in the dominant-to-recessive sequence, causing the bus transmission signal to remain in the suppressive state.

Abstract: A method for a bus interface circuit is described. According to one exemplary embodiment, the method comprises coding a first data stream by assigning first symbols to falling and rising edges of the first data stream, and coding a further data stream by assigning second symbols to the edges or levels of said further data stream. A symbol sequence is constructed from the first symbols and second symbols, wherein said symbol sequence is constructed in such a manner that the first symbols are always delayed by the same value relative to the associated edges of the first data stream. The method also comprises transmitting the symbol sequence via a galvanically isolating component, and decoding the symbol sequence transmitted via the galvanically isolating component in order to reconstruct the first data stream and the further data stream.

Abstract: Systems, devices, methods, and techniques for bus receivers operable to provide a data output corresponding to a voltage differential provided on a two-conductor data bus. In one example, a bus receiver comprises a four-quadrant input circuit and a gain stage coupled to the four-quadrant input circuit. In various examples, the four-quadrant input circuit is operable to provide common mode current compensation based on a common mode voltage present on the two-conductor data bus.

Abstract: An ESD protection circuit includes a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) including a first conduction path between a first node and a second node and a clamp circuit coupled to a control terminal of the SCR. The clamp circuit is part of a second conduction path between the first node and the second node. During an ESD event, the clamp circuit conduct an ESD current until a threshold IV point is reached. The clamp circuit triggers the SCR, which then acts as a snapback device to conduct the ESD current at a lower voltage.
