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 16):
A method performed in a data communication interface, comprising:\n transmitting a first command to a plurality of devices coupled to a serial bus while the serial bus is operated in a first mode of operation, wherein the first command is transmitted in accordance with a first protocol to cause the serial bus to be operated in a second mode of operation; communicating with a first device of the plurality of devices in accordance with a second protocol while the serial bus is operated in the second mode of operation wherein communicating with the first device comprises:\n causing the serial bus to be operated in the second mode of operation; and \n transmitting limited-duration pulses transmitted on a first wire of the serial bus in the second mode of operation have a duration that causes a filter of a second device of the plurality of devices to suppress the limited-duration pulses; \n communicating with a second device of the plurality of devices in accordance with the first protocol after the first command has been transmitted; and transmitting a second command to the plurality of devices in accordance with the first protocol to cause the first device to exit the second mode of operation, wherein further communications with the first device are conducted in accordance with the second protocol until the second command has been transmitted.
