A coded light signal is embedded into visible light emitted from the light source, to be received by a rolling-shutter camera which captures frames (16) by exposing a plurality of lines (18, 24) of each frame in sequence, the camera having an exposure time with each line being exposed for the exposure time. The coded light signal is formatted according to a format whereby the coded light signal comprises at least one message and the message is repeated multiple times with a timing such that, when samples of the coded light signal are obtained from a substantially smaller number of lines (24) than exposed by the camera in each frame and the message is longer than this number of lines, a different part of the message is seen by the camera in each of a plurality of different ones said frames.

Systems and methods are described for transmitting data over physical channels to provide a high speed, low latency interface such as between a memory controller and memory devices with significantly reduced or eliminated Simultaneous Switching Output noise. Controller-side and memory-side embodiments of such channel interfaces are disclosed which do not require additional pin count or data transfer cycles, have low power utilization, and introduce minimal additional latency. In some embodiments of the invention, three or more voltage levels are used for signaling.

Systems and methods are described for transmitting data over physical channels to provide a high bandwidth, low latency interface between a transmitting device and a receiving device operating at high speed with low power utilization. Communication is performed using group signaling over sets of four wires using a vector signaling code, where each wire of a set carries a low-swing signal that may take on one of four signal values. Topologies and designs of wire sets are disclosed with preferred characteristics for group signaling communications.

A digital isolator can include: an encoding circuit configured to receive an input digital signal, and to encode a rising edge and a falling edge of the input digital signal into different coded signals; an isolating element coupled to encoding circuit, and being configured to transmit the coded signal in an electrical isolation manner; and a decoding circuit configured to receive the coded signal through the isolation element, and to decode the coded signal to obtain the rising edge and the falling edge, in order to output an output digital signal consistent with the input digital signal, where the rising edge of the input digital signal is encoded as a first pulse sequence, and the falling edge of the input digital signal is encoded as a second pulse sequence different from the first pulse sequence.
