    摘要: Aspects of the disclosure provide for a circuit, in some examples, including a storage element, a co-processor, and a telemetry sequencer coupled to the storage element and the co-processor. The telemetry sequencer is configured to implement a digital state machine to receive configuration information indicating a type of telemetry data for generation, retrieve operations and operands, where the operations and the operands define a sequential series of actions for execution to generate the telemetry data, drive the co-processor with the operations and the operands by passing some of the operations and some of the operands to the co-processor for processing by the co-processor, receive, from the co-processor, and store an intermediate output of the series of actions as the telemetry data in a first format, and receive, from the co-processor, and store a final output of the series of actions as the telemetry data in a second format.

    摘要: A sensing device is for sensing an operating voltage of a remote device. A communications interface receives communications signals originating from the remote device over a communications bus. A data sampler takes data readings of a communications signal at a predetermined set of timing instants defined by the sensing device. A data metric (such as a duty cycle of high and low states) is obtained from the data readings and from this 5 an operating voltage of the remote device is obtained, based on a relationship between the voltage and the data metric. The invention is based on detecting timing changes which result from voltage changes. In particular, the slope of rising and falling edges of the communications signal are influenced by the voltage level, and this in turn influences the timing of high states (1s) and low states (0s).
