ABSTRACT:
Transmission of digital signals across a bus between an electronic device having a transmitter and another electronic device having a receiver with termination for both the transmitter and receiver being referenced to ground, such that the electronic device having the transmitter and the other electronic device having the receiver are able to be powered with differing decoupled voltages, such that the voltage employed by the electronic device having the transmitter is able to be lower than the voltage employed by the other electronic device having the receiver, and wherein the electronic device having the transmitter may transmit addresses and/or commands to the other device having the receiver using single-ended signaling, while both electronic devices may exchange data using differential signaling.
