Abstract:
The present disclosure relates generally to serial communication links and, more specifically, to events communicated on serial communication links and the timing of those events. The events may be communicated according to a prioritization process.

Claim (Index 12):
A serial communication link transmitter, comprising:\n two or more delay circuits, each delay circuit configured for receiving an event occurrence corresponding to that delay circuit and delaying the event occurrence by a delay time corresponding to a frame time; and priority logic configured for:\n determining a priority order for two or more event occurrences; \n preventing additional frames from being started while any of the two or more delay circuits is delaying its corresponding event; \n transmitting an event frame corresponding to a highest priority event after its corresponding delay time; \n holding event occurrences with a priority lower than the highest priority event in their corresponding delay circuit until after its corresponding delay time and no higher priority events are pending; and \n repeating the transmitting the event frame corresponding to the highest priority event until event frames have been transmitted for all of the two or more event occurrences; \n wherein the event frame includes event identifier bits indicating a frame being transmitted is an event frame and event bits indicating which event of the two or more event occurrences is being transmitted in the event frame.
