INDEPENDENT ADDRESSING OF ONE-WIRE AND TWO-WIRE DEVICES ON A SHARED RFFE BUS INTERFACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240248870 titled 'INDEPENDENT ADDRESSING OF ONE-WIRE AND TWO-WIRE DEVICES ON A SHARED RFFE BUS INTERFACE
The patent application describes a data communication apparatus connected to a serial bus, with a protocol controller that assigns unique device identifiers to two sets of subordinate devices. The communication can occur in either a mode with a clock signal or a mode without a clock signal.
- The protocol controller configures subordinate devices with unique device identifiers within their respective sets.
- A sequence start condition on the serial bus indicates the communication mode.
- Device identifiers are used to transmit datagrams in the corresponding communication mode.
Potential Applications: - Industrial automation systems - IoT devices - Communication networks
Problems Solved: - Efficient data communication in different modes - Unique identification of subordinate devices
Benefits: - Improved data transmission efficiency - Simplified device identification process
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Data Communication Apparatus for Industrial Automation" This technology can be utilized in various industries for enhancing communication efficiency and device management, leading to improved productivity and cost savings.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the protocol controller assign unique device identifiers to the subordinate devices? 2. What are the advantages of having two communication modes in the data communication apparatus?
Original Abstract Submitted
a data communication apparatus coupled to a serial bus has a protocol controller that configures a first plurality of subordinate devices with device identifiers unique within the first plurality of subordinate devices and configures a second plurality of subordinate devices with device identifiers unique within the second plurality of subordinate devices. a sequence start condition transmitted over the serial bus indicates either a first communication mode in which a clock signal is provided to the serial bus or a second communication mode in which no clock signal is provided. a device identifier associated with the first plurality of subordinate devices is used to transmit a first datagram over the serial bus in the first communication mode, and a device identifier associated with the second plurality of subordinate devices is used to transmit a second datagram over the serial bus in the second communication mode.
