  • Patent number: 7474234
    Abstract: A serial interface circuit for a single logic input pin of an electronic system, comprising a decoder for converting a pulse width modulated input signal applied to the pin to a sequence of logic low and logic high values. The decoder comprises an up/down counter with a count input connected to a clock source, an edge detection circuit detecting rising and falling edges of the input signal. The edge detection circuit is connected to the up/down counter to start up counting from a reset value upon detection of an edge in a first direction and to start down counting from a current count upon detection of an edge in a second direction. The decoder further comprises a bit value deciding circuit that delivers a first logic value when the count of the up/down counter is above the reset value on detection of an edge in the second direction and delivers a second logic value when the count of the up/down counter is at or below the reset value on detection of an edge in the second direction.
