Abstract:
Systems, methods, and circuitries are provided to perform bidirectional communication using edge timing in a common signal. In one example, a method includes receiving a common signal on a signal line between a device and another device. The common signal includes a series of signal periods, and each signal period includes a first edge of a first type and a second edge of a second type different from the first type. In each signal period of the series of signal periods: information being communicated by the other device is determined based at least on the determined timing of the first edge and a timing for a subsequent second edge with respect to the signal period is determined based on information to be communicated to the other device. The subsequent second edge is generated at the selected timing in a subsequent signal period of the series of signal periods.

Claim (Index 1):
A method, comprising, with a master device:\n receiving a common signal on a signal line between the master device and a slave device, wherein the common signal comprises a series of signal periods, and wherein each signal period comprises a first edge of a first type and a second edge of a second type different from the first type; and in each signal period of the series of signal periods:\n determining a timing of the second edge with respect to the signal period; \n determining information being communicated by the slave device based at least on the determined timing of the second edge; \n determining an operational status of the master device; \n selecting a timing for a subsequent first edge with respect to the signal period based at least on the determined operational status; and \n generating the subsequent first edge at the selected timing in a subsequent signal period of the series of signal periods.
