Abstract: Circuits, methods, and apparatus that provide improved data encoding for data transmitted through a channel of limited bandwidth. One example can provide circuits, signaling methods, and apparatus that can encode data to more fully utilize a bandwidth of a physical channel. This encoding can help to increase a data rate through the physical channel.

Abstract: Connectors that support high-speed data transfers and have a high signal quality, good reliability, and are readily manufactured. One example can provide a connector receptacle that supports high-speed data transfers and has a high signal quality by employing connector contacts that include multiple structures.

Abstract: Circuits, methods, and apparatus that provide improved data recovery for data transmitted through a channel of limited bandwidth. An example can provide circuits, methods, and apparatus that can equalize losses in a physical channel. This equalization can provide an overall channel response that is more consistent and uniform.

Abstract: A display system includes a host device that provides source data to a display. The source data includes one or more data-centric blocks free from a fixed-frame size imposition, fixed-frame rate imposition, or both from the display. Further, the source data includes presentation data. The display system includes a display that receives the source data, decodes the source data to discern a presentation time, a presentation positioning, or both for the presentation data. Further, the display presents the presentation data according to the presentation time, the presentation positioning, or both.

Abstract: Circuits, methods, and apparatus that may reduce the number of connector receptacles that are needed on an electronic device. One example may provide a unified connector and circuitry that may be capable of communicating with more than one interface.

Abstract: Circuits, methods, and apparatus that may reconstruct a data signal in the presence of ground drift and high-frequency signal coupling. An illustrative embodiment of the present invention may reconstruct a received data signal by taking an finite difference of the received data signal, detecting edges of the received data signal by detecting positive and negative peaks of the finite difference of the received signal, and reconstructing the received data signal using the detected edges. Taking a finite difference of the received data signal removes the DC component of the received data signal, as well as the ground drift that may cause the DC component of the received data signal to change over time. Additional filtering may be used to reduce high-frequency signal coupling and power supply inductive coupling.

Abstract: An electronic device including a universal serial bus type-C connector. The connector includes a first plurality of contacts and a second plurality of contacts. Each of the first plurality of contacts and each of the second plurality of contacts include a first layer formed of a first material and a second layer formed of a second material, the second layer over the first layer. The second layer is present in a first area of each of the first plurality of contacts and the second layer is absent from the first area of each of the second plurality of contacts.

Abstract: Connector receptacle tongues having contacts arranged to disconnect from corresponding contacts in a connector insert in such a way that undesirable current pathways that damage electrical components associated with the connector receptacle are avoided. Other examples include connector receptacles having a tongue in a passage and ground spring contacts located in openings in sides of the passage, where the ground spring contacts connect to a shield of a connector insert such that these undesirable current pathways are avoided.
