Abstract: A method for a low voltage drive circuit (LVDC) begins by receiving data from one or more other low voltage drive circuits (LVDCs) using a bus with varying loading at one or more frequencies and continues by sampling one or more data values of the data to produce a sampled digital data value, converting the sampled digital data value to a binary string and writing the binary string to a buffer. The method continues by writing one or more additional binary strings to the buffer to form a digital word, outputting the digital word to a digital converter circuit and formatting the digital word to create a formatted digital word. The method continues by writing the formatted digital word to a second buffer, writing additional formatted digital words to the second buffer to form a data packet and finally, outputting the data packet to a host device.
