Abstract:
A sensor array comprising a plurality of apparatus and a method of forming such a sensor array. Each apparatus comprises: a plurality of sensors; readout circuitry configured to read information from each of the plurality of sensors; and identifier information and calibration information stored with the identifier information, and each apparatus is configured to be coupled to at least one other apparatus of the sensor array. Each apparatus is calibrated before it is coupled to another apparatus, and the sensor array is calibrated after the plurality of apparatus have been coupled together.
Abstract:
A bus interface couples a master device and one or more slave devices. Upon detecting a condition on the bus, one or more of the slave devices may force an extension of the bus condition for a predetermined time period. The forced extension may comprise forcing a voltage level, causing other devices on the bus to change modes. A master on the bus may detect an out-of-variance bus condition and, in response, take action to change the bus state to a stable condition. The bus interface may include power contacts and a single-wire bus for communicating between a host device and one or more battery packs.
