Abstract:
Systems, methods and apparatus are described that offer improved performance of a sensor bus. A first command is transmitted to devices coupled to a serial bus operated in a first mode in accordance with a first protocol to cause the serial bus to be operated in a second mode. After communicating in accordance with a second protocol while the serial bus is operated in the second mode, a second command is transmitted to the plurality of devices in accordance with the first protocol to terminate the second mode. In the second mode, extra symbols inserted into a sequence of symbols transmitted on the serial bus prevent the occurrence of an unintended signaling state on the serial bus. Pulses transmitted on a wire of the serial bus in the second mode may have their duration limited such that a filter of a second device suppresses the limited-duration pulses.

Claim (Index 26):
A slave device comprising:\n a bus interface circuit operable to couple the slave device to a serial bus; and a processing circuit configured to:\n participate in an arbitration process after receiving a command from a master device that operates to initiate an address assignment process; \n during the arbitration process, transmit one or more bits of a first address associated with the slave device over a first wire of the serial bus; and \n communicate over the serial bus with the master device after winning the arbitration process, wherein the arbitration process is won when the first address of the slave device has a lowest value of all first addresses of devices participating in the arbitration process.
