CCIe receiver logic register write only with receiver clock

摘要

Methods, apparatus, and computer program products are described, which provide a mechanism that enables data to be written into registers of a slave device without a free-running clock, while facilitating an efficient sleep and wakeup mechanism for slave devices. A receiver device may receive a plurality of symbols over a shared bus, extract a receive clock signal embedded in symbol-to-symbol transitions of the plurality of symbols, convert the plurality of symbols into a transition number, convert the transition number into data bits, and store at least a portion of the data bits into one or more registers using only the receive clock signal. The receiver device may start a down counter upon detection of a first cycle of the clock signal, trigger a marker when the down counter reaches a pre-defined value, and use the marker to store at least a portion of the data bits into registers.
