Dynamically addressable daisy-chained serial communication with configurable physical layer interfaces
Abstract:
Facilitating ad hoc daisy-chaining of dynamically addressable devices having configurable physical layer interfaces together in a serial manner is presented herein. A system can include a group of devices communicatively coupled with respective devices of the group of devices in a daisy-chained manner via physical layer (PHY) interfaces of the respective devices including a group of available communication protocol configurations including a low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) based PHY configuration, a controller area network (CAN) based PHY configuration, and/or a single-ended serial communication PHY configuration including a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) based interface or a transistor-transistor logic (TTL) based interface. Further, a host device of the system is directly connected, using a single-ended Manchester encoded serial communication interface, to a foremost device of the group of devices and to successive devices of the respective devices, via the foremost device, using the single-ended Manchester encoded serial communication interface.
