    摘要: Devices exchange control signals with each other to ensure proper operation of an overall system. For instance, in a communication system, a baseband processor and a transceiver communicate with each other to exchange information for controlling the respective signal processing parts of the baseband processor and the transceiver. While Serial Peripheral Interfaces (SPIs) can be used, SPI can be extremely slow, and does not provide a protocol for allowing a complex set of control signals to be exchanged between the baseband processor and transceiver. The present disclosure describes a fast control interface which can support various modes of operation in allowing two devices to communicate with each other quickly and effectively.

    摘要: In a data transmission system, one or more signal supply voltages for generating the signaling voltage of a signal to be transmitted are generated in a first circuit and forwarded from the first circuit to a second circuit. The second circuit may use the forwarded signal supply voltages to generate another signal to be transmitted back from the second circuit to the first circuit, thereby obviating the need to generate signal supply voltages separately in the second circuit. The first circuit may also adjust the signal supply voltages based on the signal transmitted back from the second circuit to the first circuit. The data transmission system may employ a single-ended signaling system in which the signaling voltage is referenced to a reference voltage that is a power supply voltage such as ground, shared by the first circuit and the second circuit.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention may provide a system with a first and second circuit system separated by an electrical isolation barrier but provided in communication by at least one isolator device that bridges the isolation barrier. The first circuit system may include a communication system to transmit data across a common isolator device as a series of pulses, and the second circuit system may receive the series of pulses corresponding to the data. The second circuit system may include a detector coupled to the common isolator device to detect the received pulses, a oneshot to frame the received pulse(s), and a controller to reconstruct the data based on accumulated framed pulse(s). Therefore, noise induced spurious pulses outside the oneshot intervals may be ignored by the second circuit system providing improved noise immunity.

    摘要: A first integrated circuit (IC) has an adjustable delay circuit and a first interface circuit. A first clock signal is provided to the adjustable delay circuit to produce a delayed clock signal provided to the first interface circuit. A second IC has a supply voltage sense circuit and a second interface circuit that transfers data with the first IC. The supply voltage sense circuit provides a noise signal to the first IC that is indicative of noise in a supply voltage of the second IC. The adjustable delay circuit adjusts a delay of the delayed clock signal based on the noise signal. In other embodiments, edge-colored clock signals reduce the effects of high frequency jitter in the transmission of data between integrated circuits (ICs) by making the high frequency jitter common between the ICs. In other embodiments, a supply voltage is used to generate clocks signals on multiple ICs.
