Dynamically assigning lanes over which signals are transmitted to mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI)
09740653 · 2017-08-22 · ·

Dynamic lane management for interference mitigation is disclosed. In one aspect, an integrated circuit (IC) is provided that employs a control system configured to mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI) caused by an aggressor communications bus. The control system is configured to receive information related to EMI conditions and adjust which lanes of the aggressor communications bus are employed for signal transmission. The IC includes an interface configured to couple to the aggressor communications bus. The interface is configured to transmit signals to and receive signals from the aggressor communications bus. The control system is configured to use the information related to the EMI conditions to assign signals to be transmitted via particular lanes of the aggressor communications bus to mitigate the EMI experienced by a victim receiver. The control system provides designers with an additional tool that may reduce the performance degradation of the victim receiver attributable to EMI.
