    摘要: A serial low-power inter-chip media bus communications link is deployed in apparatus having multiple Integrated Circuit devices. Communications capabilities of a device coupled to the communications link may be determined and configuration or framing message may be sent to the first device based on the capabilities. The messages may be transmitted on a primary data line of the communications link with a clock used to control timing of transmission on at least the primary data line. The communications capabilities can include information identifying a number of data wires supported by or coupled to the device. A first device may be configured to communicate with a second device over a secondary data line, which may be reserved for such direct communication. Communications on the secondary data line may be synchronized using the clock signal and may be controlled by a different protocol than the protocol used for the primary data line.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a bus interface system including a bus line, master integrated circuitry (IC), and slave IC. The master IC is coupled to the bus line and configured to transmit the data signal to the slave IC through the bus line. The slave IC is coupled to the bus line so as to receive the data signal from the master IC and includes a supply capacitor, which is configured to store power from the data signal and provide a supply voltage to the slave IC. When the bus line is in the low state, the supply capacitor is isolated from the bus line. When the bus line is in the high state, the supply capacitor is allowed to extract power from the data signal on the bus line.

    摘要: In a method for synchronizing a control unit and at least one peripheral unit having actuators and/or sensors, the control unit and the peripheral unit exchange data with each other via a serial interface. The control unit transmits data to the at least one peripheral unit which is processed in the peripheral unit for the operation of the actuators and/or sensors, and at least one synchronization character is transmitted from the control unit to the peripheral unit for the synchronization. In this context, the synchronization character is appended by the control unit to a first data sequence of a data stream to be transmitted from the control unit to the peripheral unit, and the transmission of a second data sequence to be transmitted after the first data sequence is delayed in time on the part of the control unit, so that the second data sequence is transmitted by the control unit to the peripheral unit following the synchronization character.

    摘要: Component apparatuses with inter-component communication capabilities, and system having such component apparatuses are disclosed herein. In embodiments, such a component may include a number of control pins including a clock pin, a number of data pins, and a logic unit. The logic unit may be configured to receive a clock signal from another component through the clock pin, to provide an alert signal to the other component through a selected one of the control and data pins to initiate a transaction with the other component, to receive in response to the alert signal from the other component through the data pins a status request to determine nature of the transaction, and to provide in response to the status request to the other component through the data pins a status to indicate the nature of the transaction. The provision of the alert signal, the receipt of the status request and the provision of the status may be in reference to the clock signal. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.
