Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatuses for a single edge nibble transmission (SENT) multi-transmission mode are described. In an example, a system can include a transmitter and a receiver connected to one another. The transmitter may encode an identifier of a device in a synchronization nibble of a SENT signal. The transmitter may transmit the SENT signal with the encoded identifier to the receiver. The receiver may receive the SENT signal from the transmitter. The receiver may decode the identifier of the device from the synchronization nibble of the SENT signal to identify the device.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a controller configured to encode an identifier of a device in a synchronization nibble of a single edge nibble transmission (SENT) signal by modifying a width of a calibration pulse in the synchronization nibble, wherein the SENT signal is being outputted by the device, and the synchronization nibble precedes a status or communication nibble in message frame of the SENT signal.
An apparatus comprising:
- a controller configured to:
- receive a single edge nibble transmission (SENT) signal from a device;
- and
- decode an identifier of the device based on a width of a calibration pulse in a synchronization nibble of the received SENT signal to identify the device, wherein the synchronization nibble precedes a status or communication nibble in message frame of the SENT signal.
A system comprising:
- a receiver;
- and
- a transmitter connected to the receiver, the transmitter being configured to:
- encode an identifier of a device in a synchronization nibble of a single edge nibble transmission (SENT) signal by modifying a width of a calibration pulse in the synchronization nibble, wherein the transmitter is in the device, wherein the synchronization nibble precedes a status or communication nibble in message frame of the SENT signal;
- and
- transmit the SENT signal with the encoded identifier to the receiver;
- the receiver being configured to:
- receive the SENT signal transmitted from the transmitter;
- and
- decode the identifier of the device based on a width of a calibration pulse in the synchronization nibble of the SENT signal to identify the device.
