Abstract
A reconfigurable device-based programmable wiring system includes switches. A total number of switches is based on a total number of peripheral terminals and a total number of microcontroller pins. The total number of switches is based on a product of a total number of peripheral terminals and a total number of microcontroller pins. The reconfigurable device-based programmable wiring system includes multiple microcontroller peripherals.
Claims9
A reconfigurable device-based programmable wiring system, comprising:
- switches,
- wherein a total number of switches is based on a total number of peripheral terminals and a total number of microcontroller pins, wherein at least one of the total number of microcontroller pins is an analog sensor, and
- wherein the at least one of the total number of microcontroller pins is connected to an analog-to-digital converter,
- wherein the total number of switches is (total number of peripheral terminals)*(total number of microcontroller pins), wherein at least one of the total number of peripheral terminals includes a Programmable Logic Controller PLC), and
- wherein the reconfigurable device-based programmable wiring system is a micro-controller based programmable wiring system that is configured to be a microcontroller unit (MCU), a computer, a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), a Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), an Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), or a Programmable System on Chip (PSOC),
- and wherein the reconfigurable device-based programmable wiring system includes:
- at first peripheral device,
- wherein:
- the first peripheral device includes an I2C embedded protocol,
- the first peripheral device is configured to attach to at least one of the total number of peripheral terminals,
- a first signal line of the first peripheral device is wired to at least one of the total number of microcontroller pins and the first signal line does not connect to any other peripheral devices, and
- a second peripheral device,
- wherein:
- the second peripheral device includes an SPI embedded protocol, and
