A pulse width modulation signaling system includes a first control channel that is configured to receive a hardware Boolean command input from a first hardware status monitor, receive a software multi-bit command input from a first software system, and generate a first pulse width modulated signal that is representative of the Boolean command input and the software multi-bit command input. The hardware Boolean command input is a binary value of either a first state or a second state, the software multi-bit command input includes a binary value of either a first state or a second state, and the first pulse width modulated signal defines a duty cycle.

A device includes a voltage generator that generates a reference signal, a multi-level bias generator coupled to the voltage generator to receive the reference signal and generate a plurality of bias level signals based at least in part on the reference signal. The multi-level bias generator transmits the plurality of bias level signals to a plurality of multiplexers that each receive a select signal to select a subset of bias level signals of the plurality of bias level signals. The device also includes an adjustment circuit of a decision feedback equalizer that receives a respective selected subset of bias level signals from one multiplexer of the plurality of multiplexers and utilizes the respective selected subset of bias level signals to compensate for inter-symbol interference of a bit due to a previously received bit of a bit stream.

A transmission device of the present disclosure includes: a driver unit that transmits a data signal with use of a first voltage state, a second voltage state, and a third voltage state interposed between the first voltage state and the second voltage state, and is configured to make a voltage in the third voltage state changeable; and a controller that changes the voltage in the third voltage state to cause the driver unit to perform emphasis.

A CAN transceiver includes a first terminal which receives a transmit signal from a CAN microcontroller. A splitter unit transmits a signal derived from the transmit signal to a CAN bus a via bus connection. A unit receives signals from the CAN bus via the bus connection. A second terminal sends a receive signal derived from the received signals to the CAN microcontroller. The transmit and receive signals include a pulsed signal waveform which represents data bits. Delay circuits apply a deliberate delay to the rising or falling edge of pulses of the transmit signal and/or a deliberate delay to the rising or falling edge of pulses of the receive signal.

A baseband processing unit includes a baseband processor configured to receive a plurality of component carriers of a radio access technology wireless service, and a delta-sigma digitization interface configured to digitize at least one carrier signal of the plurality of component carriers into a digitized bit stream, for transport over a transport medium, by (i) oversampling the at least one carrier signal, (ii) quantizing the oversampled carrier signal into the digitized bit stream using two or fewer quantization bits.

Each one of code modulators modulates first power to generate a code-modulated wave using a modulation code based on a code sequence, and transmits the code-modulated wave to one of code demodulators. Each one of code demodulator receives the code-modulated wave from one of the code modulators, and demodulates the received code-modulated wave to generate second power using a demodulation code based on a code sequence identical to the code sequence of the modulation code used. When power is transmitted between each one of transmitter and receiver pairs, a controller selects and assigns code sequences to the transmitter and receiver pairs, so as to reduce an average of an absolute value of a total current of the code-modulated waves of the transmitter and receiver pairs in a transmission path, as compared to a reference value, the average being averaged over a predetermined time.

A compressed over pulse-code modulation (PCM) (CoP) format (e.g., for data transfer between a Bluetooth component and an audio digital signal processor (ADSP) component) may be modified to transport additional metadata (e.g., sideband data). Sideband data may be transported to convey parameter control information (e.g., control information for codec parameter control interfaces, such as information for quality mode changes), in band data (e.g., data specific parameters, such as timestamps for playback timing control and synchronization purposes), etc. Sideband data may be transported (e.g., communicated) over an interface between a Bluetooth component and an ADSP component while an applications processor is operating in a low power state or sleep mode. According to some aspects, the modified CoP format (e.g., a sideband packet) may include a sideband identification (ID) field and a sideband data payload (e.g., where the sideband ID field indicates the structure of a corresponding sideband data payload).
