PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a two-wire communication system for high-speed data and power distribution.SOLUTION: Various embodiments of the present invention provide a two-wire (e.g., unshielded twisted pair) bus system that is simple (e.g., no microcontroller required in slave devices), synchronous with embedded clock information, inexpensive, automotive EMC compliant, and has sufficient speed and bandwidth for a large number of slave devices/peripherals, and also provide various protocols that can be used in various communication systems such as a two-wire bus system. The two-wire bus optionally can be self-powered, i.e., the master device can provide power to the slave devices over the two-wire bus. Various embodiments of the present invention methods are for discovery, configuration, and coordination of data communications between master and slave devices in a communication system. |
