Aspects are directed to systems and methods of determining a value of a characteristic related to timing between sequential events of an input electronic signal using an input capture counter having a maximum counting value, the input electronic signal having an expected variable period between events whose value is between a maximum period value and a minimum period value with a delta period value equal to a difference between the maximum period value and the minimum period value.

Method and apparatus for determining characteristics of an input signal

According to one aspect, embodiments of the invention provide a system monitor for a load center comprising a current sensor configured to be coupled to a circuit branch within the load center and to produce a measurement signal having a level related to a current level of the circuit branch, a sensor circuit coupled to the current sensor and removably coupled to a terminal, the sensor circuit configured to provide the measurement signal to the terminal, and a controller coupled to the terminal and configured to monitor signals at the terminal, wherein the controller is further configured to detect disconnection of the current sensor from the terminal based on a signal level at the terminal.

System and method for detecting branch circuit current

Systems and methods of transmitting data to a plurality of devices are provided. In one example, a system is configured to broadcast data to a group of multiple devices. Each of the group of devices is configured to inspect the message and locally store the content of the message. Further, the group of devices is configured so that a single device of the group responds to each message.

System and method for transferring data in a multi-drop network

A method of operating an electronic device includes determining whether one or more operating conditions for allowing the electronic device to operate in a low-power mode are satisfied, preventing the electronic device from operating in the low-power mode if fewer than all of the operating conditions are satisfied, and causing the electronic device to operate in the low-power mode if all of the operating conditions are satisfied.

Modular gating of microprocessor low-power mode

Systems and methods that automatically assign addresses to devices coupled to a shared bus are provided. In one example, a system for assigning addresses to a plurality of devices within a network includes a memory and at least one processor coupled to the memory. The system is configured to instruct all of the plurality of devices to respectively select a first dynamic address from a first set of dynamic addresses, respectively assign a different static address to each device having a first dynamic address that uniquely identifies the device, instruct all of the plurality of devices having a first dynamic address that identifies at least two devices to respectively select a second dynamic address from a second set of dynamic addresses and respectively assign another different static address to each device having a second dynamic address that uniquely identifies the device.
