  • Patent number: 10133692
    Abstract: A system including: a master device configured to generate a first signal having a periodic pulse, wherein the first signal includes data; and a slave device including a pin, a delay circuit, a buffer, and a processing circuit, wherein the slave device receives the first signal at the pin, delays the first signal with the delay circuit to generate a second signal having a first delay, delays the first signal with the buffer to generate a third signal having a second delay, and reads the data from the second signal using the third signal at the processing circuit.

  • Patent number: 9882711
    Abstract: A data processing system includes a master device and a slave device. The master device includes a first single pad, a first control circuit, a first frame generator configured, and a first processing circuit. The slave device includes a second single pad, a second control circuit, a second frame generator, and a second processing circuit. A clock source is configured to provide a clock signal to the master device and the slave device. The master device communicates with the slave device through a single wire, the single wire being connected between the first single pad and the second single pad, wherein the single wire is bidirectional. A first frame is transmitted from the master device to the slave device, and a second frame is transmitted from the slave device to the master device.

  • Publication number: 20180013546
    Abstract: A master device communicates with a slave device through an asynchronous serial communications link. The master device includes a single pad configured to communicate a command frame including an address and a data frame including data with the slave device via a single wire; and a processing circuit configured to generate an oversampling clock signal from a clock signal, to perform a synchronization process for selecting one of a plurality of clock phases of the oversampling clock signal, and to perform a sampling process for sampling an each bit value included in the data frame transmitted from the slave device using a clock phase at the same position as the clock phase selected during the synchronization process.
