Abstract
A system for communicating with a host using control signals over a 1-wire interface is disclosed. The system includes a driver coupled to the host by the 1-wire interface. Control signals are transmitted from the host to the driver for decoding by the driver controller. The control signals are pulse width modulation format signals which are interpreted by the driver as binary encoded command mode signals or analog encoded command mode signals, depending upon when the signals are received in relation to a preamble pulse and a post-amble pulse.
