Abstract
Designs of a sensor module with fewer number of pins are described. According to one aspect of the designs, a sensor module operates on a predefined number of clocks in a clock signal in contrast of rising or falling edges of clocks or pulses thereof commonly relied upon in a prior art sensor module, thus reducing considerably the requirements on the clock signals needed to support the sensor module. More importantly, the pins of the sensor module are far fewer than those in a prior art system. Subsequently, the complexity of supporting circuits for the sensor module in the sensor module of the present invention can be simplified.
