Abstract: A method includes transmitting a plurality of signal frames from a master device over a serial communication bus at a constant rate to a first slave device from a set of slave devices. The set of slave devices and the master device are connected in series within a master-slave communication ring. The first slave device is coupled to at least one light source. The method further includes transmitting the plurality of signal frames from the first slave device to a second slave device from the set of slave devices.

Abstract: Differential-signal receivers. One example is a method of operating a differential-signal receiver, the method comprising: receiving a first differential signal on a differential-signal pair, the first differential signal accompanying a common-mode voltage that is positive relative to a reference voltage of the differential-signal receiver; clamping, when the first differential signal is positive, an OUT+ node at a first voltage; and clamping, when the first differential signal is negative, the OUT− node at a second voltage.
