COMPATIBILITY OF SINGLE-WIRE AND THREE-WIRE BUSES Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC G06F13/38 

FIELD: physics, communication.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to the field of communication realisation between master and slave devices with application of bus interface. According to one aspect, outlet or outlets of three-wire interface are selected in the first mode, and outlet of one or several single-wire interfaces is selected in the second mode. According to the other aspect, converter addresses single-wire bus and generates signals in compliance with three-wire interface. According to another aspect, completion signal is inserted into single-wire interface signal, which facilitates conversion of this signal and connection to three-wire interface. According to the next aspect, in response to detected initial symbol strobe signal and/or clock signal are generated. According to another aspect, strobe signal and/or clock signal are deactivated in response to detected completion symbol.

EFFECT: provision of compatibility between existing serial bus interfaces and single-wire bus interface.
