Single wire signal regeneration transmitting apparatus and method and serially connected single wire signal regeneration transmitting apparatuses

摘要

A single wire signal regeneration transmitting apparatus receives a serial packet including a plurality of signal segments, and each of the signal segments includes a data field and a stuff time symbol. Each of the data fields, which is followed by each of the stuff time symbols, includes multiple logic 0/1 signal symbols, with accumulated numbers of the logic 0/1 signal symbols in each of the data fields being the same. The single wire signal regeneration transmitting apparatus is adapted to process the serial packet to sequentially output the signal segments, and after the single wire signal regeneration transmitting apparatus outputs the data field from a previously received signal segment, the single wire signal regeneration transmitting apparatus continues outputting the stuff time symbol until starting to process a next received signal segment received subsequent to a currently received signal segment in the received serial package.

1. A single wire signal regeneration transmitting apparatus,
wherein the single wire signal regeneration transmitting apparatus receives a serial packet including a plurality of signal segments, each of the signal segments includes a data field and a stuff time symbol, each of the data fields includes multiple logic 0/1 signal symbols, with accumulated numbers of the logic 0/1 signal symbols in each of the data fields being the same, each of the data fields is followed by each of the stuff time symbols, the single wire signal regeneration transmitting apparatus is adapted to process the serial packet to sequentially output the signal segments, and at the time the single wire signal regeneration transmitting apparatus begins to process a currently received signal segment, and the single wire signal regeneration transmitting apparatus outputs the data field from a previously received signal segment and outputs the stuff time symbols until starting to process a next received signal segment in the received serial packet; and wherein the single wire signal regeneration transmitting apparatus further comprises:
a signal decoder for receiving the serial packet and decoding each of the signal segments of the serial packet, in order to generate a corresponding bit segment when receiving the stuff time symbol, and for generating a stuff time informing signal;a signal register, coupled to the signal decoder, for storing the bit segments sequentially and outputting the bit segment associated with the data field of the previously received signal segment when the signal decoder decodes the current inputting signal segment; anda signal encoder, coupled to the signal register, for receiving the bit segment, and transforming each of the bit segments to each of the corresponding signal segments before attaching the stuff time symbols to the data fields of each of the signal segments so that the stuff time symbols follow the data fields until the signal decoder begins to decode the next received signal segment subsequent to the currently received signal segment in the serial packet.
