    Abstract: The present invention includes a process control instrument (100) having an improved data bus protocol for facilitating communications between master and slave nodes. The process control instrument (100) includes a microprocessor (200) operating in accordance with the SPI data bus protocol, first and second peripheral devices (204,206), and a data bus (220) coupled to the microprocessor and the first and second peripheral devices. The improved data bus protocol used in the process control instruments of the present invention provides numerous advantages such as reduced printed circuit board space requirements and greater interchangeability of peripheral and master node components.

    Abstract: A transmitter for use in a process control setting includes a sensor adapted to couple to a process and provide a sensor output related to a parameter of the process. A modulator coupled to the sensor output responsively provides a digital bit stream output representative of the sensor output. A filter provides a current decimation output. A comparator compares a previous decimation output with the current decimation output. Circuitry is provided for transmitting an output related to the parameter based upon the current decimation.

    Abstract: An apparatus for and method of serially transmitting a message between first and second devices coupled to a data or clock line in a process control device is disclosed. A first transition of the data or clock signal is generated during a signal cycle. A second transition of the signal is generated during the first signal cycle in order to control the duty cycle of the signal during the first signal cycle. If the duty cycle of the signal during the first signal cycle has a first value, then the first signal cycle is representative of a first data state transmitted between the first and second devices. If the duty cycle of the signal during the first signal cycle has a second value, then the first signal cycle is representative of a second data state transmitted between the first and second devices.
