Detection of data received by a master device in a single-wire communication protocol

摘要

The method involves determining a binary state of data transmitted by a slave device over a single-wire connection according to a slope of a rising edge of two-state signals i.e. voltage (V-MD), transmitted by a master device. The slope is determined based on a charge level of a capacitor on occurrence of the edge. The signals are used as clock signals by the slave device, where the two-state signals comprise a duty cycle modulated according to data to be transmitted from the master device to the slave device. An independent claim is also included for a transmission-reception device for transmitting a two-state signal to a device over a single-wire connection for modifying a charge that exhibits on the connection according to a binary data state.
