Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to single-wire bus communications. In accordance with one or more embodiments, a pull-up current is delimited when a single-wire bus circuit is operated at a dominant level during the transmission of data on the single-wire bus circuit. This approach can be implemented to facilitate power savings, such as in applications involving a master control circuit that transmits signals by driving the single-wire bus circuit between dominant and recessive levels.
