Abstract: A state machine defines a plurality of predetermined states and a plurality of predetermined events, for decoding universal serial bus (USB) data communicated over a USB. Input terminals receive the USB data. A clock processor outputs synchronized data and a device clock. An event generator triggers respective ones of the predetermined events in response to respective combinations of the synchronized data, the device clock, control information, and the present state. One of the predetermined events includes identifying a stuffed-bit in the synchronized data, and another of the predetermined events includes stripping the identified stuffed-bit from the synchronized data and not toggling an output clock, to provide stuff-bit stripped synchronized data. A combination of the predetermined events includes decoding the stuffed-bit stripped synchronized data to provide decoded stuffed-bit stripped synchronized data.

Abstract: A mutually capacitive touch sensor includes a first capacitor electrode and a second capacitor electrode. The second capacitor electrode is adjacent and spatially separated from the first capacitor electrode. An inner region is disposed between the first capacitor electrode and the second capacitor electrode, wherein the first capacitor electrode and the second capacitor electrode are arranged to surround the inner region. The inner region may include a hole for a backlight.

Abstract: A host device includes a first serial peripheral interface (SPI) and a second SPI to communicate with an embedded multimedia card (eMMC) device. The host device has a mode controller that controls the first SPI to toggle between first transmission and first reception modes for command transmission and response reception, respectively. The mode controller controls the second SPI to toggle between second transmission and second reception modes for data transmission and data reception, respectively.
