  • Patent number: 11875728
    Abstract: A method for mitigating interference across analog signal lines includes receiving a digital data stream including a plurality of discrete signal patterns configured to drive a plurality of different analog signal lines. An edge buffer for each analog signal line is populated with edge data representing pulse edges of upcoming signal patterns set to drive the analog signal line. A target buffer for a target signal line is populated with target data representing a target signal pattern. Based at least in part on determining that edge buffers corresponding to one or more potentially interfering analog signal lines include edge data corresponding to post-target pulse edges, one or more potentially interfering signal patterns are identified. A selected set of the potentially interfering signal patterns are used to modify the target signal pattern to perform preemptive interference mitigation.

  • Publication number: 20230412307
    Abstract: Improved techniques for recovering from an error condition without requiring a re-transmittal of data across a high-speed data link and for improved power usage are disclosed herein. A data stream is initiated. This stream includes different types of packets. Error correcting code (ECC) is selectively imposed on a control data type packet. A transmitter node and a receiver node are connected via a hard link that has multiple virtual channels. Each virtual channel is associated with a corresponding power-consuming node. When the receiver node receives the control data type packet, error correction is performed if needed without re-transmittal. When a final data type packet is transmitted for each virtual channel, the transmitter node transmits an end condition type packet. A corresponding power-consuming node that corresponds to the respective virtual channel transitions from an active state to a low power state.

An edge buffer for each analog signal line is populated with edge data representing pulse edges of upcoming signal patterns set to drive the analog signal line. A target buffer for a target signal line is populated with target data representing a target signal pattern. Edge buffers corresponding to potentially interfering analog signal lines are searched to identify potentially interfering pulse edges. A set of potentially interfering pulse edges are selected for interference mitigation, and the target signal pattern is modified to perform preemptive interference mitigation based at least in part on the selected pulse edges.

  • Publication number: 20220139281
    Abstract: One example provides, on a scanning mirror display system, a method for communicating timing information for light samples that are scanned to form a displayed image. The method comprises, for a line of light samples, encoding timing information for a first light sample of the line of light samples using a first, greater number of bits to form encoded timing information for the first light sample. The method further comprises encoding timing information for a subsequent light sample of the line of light samples by computing a derivative based upon a timing of the subsequent light sample compared to a prior light sample, encoding the derivative using a second, lesser number of bits to form encoded timing information for the subsequent light sample, and sending the information for the first light sample and the subsequent light sample across the communications channel.
