Abstract
A driver is coupled to a single conductor wire that may be electromagnetically shielded to drive serial signals on the wire, and a receiver is coupled to the wire and to the driver to receive serial signals from the wire at the same time.
Claims31
An apparatus comprising:
- a driver operable to drive serial signals on to a single line;
- and
- a receiver coupled to the line and coupled to the driver, the receiver operable to receive serial signals from the line at the same time that the driver is driving serial signals on to the line.
An apparatus comprising:
- a driver coupled to a single conductor wire that is electromagnetically shielded to drive serial signals on the wire;
- and
- a receiver coupled to the wire and coupled to the driver to receive serial signals from the wire at the same time that the driver is driving serial signals on to the wire.
A system comprising:
- a first module;
- a second module;
- and
- a single conductor wire that is electromagnetically shielded coupled between the first module and the second module to couple serial signals from the first module to the second module and to couple serial signals from the second module to the first module to support bidirectional communication between the first module and the second module.

A method comprising:
- driving first serial signals on to a single line from a module;
- and
- receiving second serial signals from the line in the module at the same time.
A system comprising:
- a keyboard;
- a computer;
- and
- a single conductor wire that is electromagnetically shielded coupled between the keyboard and the computer to couple serial signals from the keyboard to the computer and to couple serial signals from the computer to the keyboard to support bidirectional communication between the keyboard and the computer.
