Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus for transmitting additional information over a synchronous serial bus are described. A method performed at a transmitting device coupled to the serial bus includes providing first data in a data signal to be transmitted on a first wire of a multi-wire serial bus, providing a series of pulses in a clock signal to be transmitted on a second wire of a multi-wire serial bus, where each pulse has a rising edge and a falling edge, each edge being aligned with a different bit of the first data. The method may include encoding second data in the clock signal by controlling a duration of each pulse in the series of pulses based on a value of one or more bits of the second data, and transmitting the data signal and the clock signal over the serial bus.
