Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing virtual general purpose input/output (GPIO) (VGI) over a time division multiplex (TDM) bus are disclosed. While a SOUNDWIRE bus is particularly contemplated, other TDM buses may also be used to provide the benefits outlined herein. In particular, raw GPIO signals are placed into time slots on a TDM bus without requiring additional overhead or packaging. This arrangement allows all drops on a multi-drop bus to receive the GPIO signals substantially concurrently with latency measured in less than a frame period.

Claim (Index 1):
An integrated circuit (IC) comprising:\n a bus interface configured to couple to a time division multiplex (TDM) bus; a transceiver coupled to the bus interface and configured to send signals and receive signals over the TDM bus through the bus interface; a logic element coupled to the transceiver and providing to the transceiver at least one general purpose input/output (GPIO) signal; and a control system configured to:\n cause the transceiver to send the at least one GPIO signal in a first TDM slot over the TDM bus.
