Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are described that enable single-cycle pre-emption on a serial bus. An apparatus is coupled to a serial bus through a bus interface and includes a controller configured to provide a clock signal on the first line of the serial bus, transmit data on a second line of the serial bus in accordance with timing provided by the clock signal, cause the line driver to enter a high impedance state after transmitting a first edge in the clock signal while transmitting the data on the second line, detect a first pulse on the clock signal while the line driver is in the high impedance state, cause the line driver to exit the high impedance state prior to transmitting a second edge in the clock signal, and initiate bus arbitration after detecting the first pulse. The first edge and the second edge may transition in opposite directions.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for functionally extending a capability of a write datagram for RFFE and SPMI devices are provided. A sending device sets a configuration register to indicate an operation mode of a write command and generates a command code field in the write command. A most significant bit of the command code field has a value of 1 and remaining bits of the command code field are defined based on the operation mode. The sending device further includes payload bytes in a payload field of the write command based on the operation mode and sends the write command to a receiver via a bus interface. The sending device may also set a page-address register to include a page-address to be used if page segmented access (PSA) is enabled for the write command and set the configuration register to indicate whether the PSA for the write command is enabled.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for communication virtualized general-purpose input/output (GPIO) signals over a serial communication link. An apparatus includes a serial bus, and an originating device and destination device coupled to the serial bus. The originating device may be configured to generate a first virtual GPIO packet that carries a payload representative of signaling state of physical GPIO in the originating device, generate a second virtual GPIO packet that carries a payload representative of an event generated by a processor in the originating device, and transmit the first and second virtual GPIO packets on the serial bus. The destination device may be configured to receive the second virtual GPIO packet from the serial bus, and communicate the event to a processor of the destination device or modify signaling state of physical GPIO in the destination device in accordance with the payload of the second virtual GPIO packet.

Abstract: A system for low-speed Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Express (PCIe) systems, while maintaining both lower level physical layer (PHY) pin requirements and upper layer functionality being capable of both differential and single-ended signaling modes optimized for power savings. An apparatus includes an integrated circuit (IC) adapted to be connected to a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Express (PCIe) bus. The IC includes a control block selects between differential and single-ended signaling for the PCIe bus. The single-ended signaling is transmitted through existing pins of the IC that are coupled to the PCIe bus for differential signaling when single-ended signaling is selected for the PCIe bus.

Abstract: In an aspect, an apparatus obtains a payload to be transmitted to a receiver device, obtains a virtual general-purpose input/output and messaging interface (VGMI) packet that includes at least the payload, a virtual channel identifier, and a function bit configured as a virtual channel marker bit to indicate that the VGMI packet includes the virtual channel identifier, wherein the virtual channel identifier indicates information associated with processing the payload, and transmits the VGMI packet to the receiver device. In another aspect, an apparatus receives a VGMI packet from a transmitter device, wherein the VGMI packet includes at least a payload and a virtual channel identifier, determines that the VGMI packet includes the virtual channel identifier based on a function bit configured as a virtual channel marker bit, wherein the virtual channel identifier indicates information associated with processing the payload, and processes the data based on the information.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for communication virtualized general-purpose input/output (GPIO) signals over a serial communication link. A method performed at a transmitting device coupled to a communication link includes maintaining in a first register, a plurality of virtual general-purpose input/output (VGPIO) bits representing state of a one or more output GPIO pins at least one bit representative of state of an input GPIO pin of the first device, receiving first VGPIO state information directed to the first register, writing or refraining from writing a first set of bits of the first VGPIO state information to the first register based on the value of corresponding bits of a second register. The second set of bits may be directed to the one or more bits representative of state of output GPIO pins.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for managing digital communication interfaces coupled to data communication links are disclosed. In one example, the digital communication interfaces provide methods, protocols and techniques that may be used to provide a common slew rate for signals transmitted on a communication link that may be operated at multiple different voltage ranges. A method may include determining a first voltage range defined for transmitting signals over the communication link when the over the communication link is operated in a first mode of operation, configuring a line driver to operate within the first voltage range with a common slew rate that applies to each of a plurality of modes of operation, and transmitting first data over the communication link in one or more signals that switch within the first voltage range with the common slew rate. Each mode of operation may define a different voltage range for transmitting signals.

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.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are described that offer improved performance of a sensor bus. A method includes transmitting a first command on a serial bus while operating in a first mode of operation, exchanging first data with the first device in accordance with a second protocol associated with the second mode of operation, and exchanging second data with the first device in accordance with the second protocol after the first period of time. The first command may be transmitted in accordance with a first protocol to cause a first device to operate in a second mode of operation. The first device may be idle for a first period of time after the first data has been exchanged.

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to negotiating a best device-to-device (D2D) radio access technology (RAT) to use in a D2D connection. In particular, two wireless devices that correspond to potential D2D peers may exchange respective radio configurations according to a D2D coexistence protocol to mutually negotiate the “best” RAT to use in the D2D connection, wherein the exchanged radio configurations may comprise at least radio capabilities and coexistence states (e.g., in-device and/or cross-device coexistence states) associated with the respective wireless devices. The potential D2D peers may then negotiate one or more compatible RATs that are available to use in the D2D connection according to at least the radio capabilities and the in-device and cross-device coexistence states exchanged therebetween. As such, the two wireless devices may then establish one or more D2D connections using the negotiated compatible RAT(s).
