Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method comprising receiving edges conveyed by a serial bus and separated by multiples of a same duration, determining a measurement value of a ratio between a cycle time of a clock and the duration, and sending bits on the serial bus using the measurement value.

Abstract: An embodiment method comprises receiving at least one frame comprising consecutive bits transported by a serial bus; estimating an arrival period of a last bit of the consecutive bits; and starting a sending of an acknowledgement of receipt before the end of the estimated arrival period.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of communication via serial bus, comprising: the conveyance by the serial bus of a frame comprising at least two consecutive cycles of a dominant state followed by a recessive state, the recessive states and dominant states having durations comprised between 2 and 5 times the duration of a data bit conveyed by the serial bus, and preferably above 1.8 ?s; and the detection by one or more circuits coupled to the serial bus of at least a part of the frame for triggering the passage from a sleep state to a wake state of the one or more circuits.

Abstract: A computer system for executing instructions having assigned guard indicators, comprises instruction supply circuitry, pipelined execution units for receiving instructions from the supply circuitry together with at least one guard indicator selected from a set of guard indicators, the execution unit including a master guard value store containing master values for the guard indicators, and circuitry for resolving the guard values in the execution pipeline and providing a signal to indicate whether the pipeline is committed to the execution of the instruction, and an emulator having watch circuitry for effecting a watch on selected instructions supplied to the execution pipeline and synchronising circuitry for correlating resolution of the guard indicator of each selected instruction with a program count for that instruction.
