The sending signal includes a full-modulation sending signal or a non-full-modulation sending signal.
[0024] The transmitting circuit 10 can operate in a first modulation working mode or a second modulation working mode. In the first modulation working mode, a fully modulated transmitting signal is generated, and the fully modulated transmitting signal can be an amplitude modulation signal, and the amplitude modulation index is 100%; in the second modulation working mode, a non-fully modulated transmitting signal is generated, and the amplitude modulation index corresponding to the non-fully modulated transmitting signal is less than 100%, such as 10% or 20%.

The corresponding signal timing diagram can be shown as follows Fig.10 shown.
[0039] Continue reading Figure 2 and Figure 7 The communication chip also includes a control logic unit 30 and a receiving circuit 40, and the control logic unit 30 is connected to the sending circuit 10 and the receiving circuit 40; specifically, the control logic unit 30 is connected to the adjustment module 131 to output a third control signal ctrl_c to the control end of the adjustment resistor R, thereby adjusting the resistance value of the adjustment resistor R.
[0040] The receiving circuit 40 is connected to the power supply communication line to receive the data signal to be received transmitted through the power supply communication line, and demodulates the data signal to be received. In the first demodulation working mode, the receiving circuit 40 fully demodulates the data signal to be received to generate a fully demodulated received data signal. The first demodulation working mode corresponds to the first modulation working mode; in the second demodulation working mode, the receiving data signal is not fully demodulated to generate a not fully demodulated received data signal.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, Fig.11 As shown, the receiving circuit 40 includes: a receiving control unit 41 , a first receiving processing unit 42 and a second receiving processing unit 43 .
[0042] The receiving control unit 41 is used to obtain a demodulation mode signal rx_mode, and selectively generate a first enable signal EN1 or a second enable signal EN2 according to the demodulation mode signal rx_mode.

[0045] The second receiving processing unit 43 is connected to the receiving control unit 41 , and operates in the second demodulation working mode. In the second demodulation working mode, the second receiving processing unit 43 performs non-complete demodulation on the receiving data signal rx_SWI to generate a non-complete demodulated receiving data signal rx_data2 .
[0046] Furthermore, the second receiving processing unit 43 includes: a delay unit 431 and a second demodulation unit 432; the delay unit 431 is connected to the single-wire interface 20, and is used to receive the data signal rx_SWI to be received, and delay the data signal rx_SWI to be received; the second demodulation unit 432 is connected to the single-wire interface 20 and the receiving control unit 41, and is used to receive the second enable signal EN2, and compare the data signal rx_SWI to be received with the delayed data signal to be received when the second enable signal EN2 is enabled, generate a non-fully demodulated receiving data signal rx_data2 and send it to the receiving control unit 41.

[0048] In a specific embodiment, Fig.12As shown, the delay unit 431 includes a second resistor R2 and a capacitor C, one end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the single-wire interface 20, the other end of the second resistor R2 is connected to one end of the capacitor C and the second demodulation unit 432, and the other end of the capacitor C is connected to the ground signal.
[0049] The first demodulation unit 421 is a Schmitt trigger, which includes an input terminal and an enable control terminal. The input terminal of the Schmitt trigger 421 is connected to the single-wire interface 20 , and the enable control terminal of the Schmitt trigger 421 is connected to the receiving control unit 41 to receive the first enable signal EN1 .
[0050] The Schmitt trigger 421 can be used to demodulate ordinary communication signals, and a 100% modulated signal can be demodulated and output to the receiving control unit 41.
[0051] The second demodulation unit 432 is a comparator, which includes a first input terminal, a second input terminal, an output terminal and an enable control terminal. The first input terminal of the comparator 432 is connected to the single-wire interface 20, the second input terminal of the comparator 432 is connected to one end of the capacitor C, the output terminal of the comparator 432 is connected to the receiving control unit 41, and the enable control terminal of the comparator 432 is connected to the receiving control unit 41 to receive the second enable signal EN2, wherein the first input terminal and the second input terminal are respectively a non-inverting input terminal and an inverting input terminal.
[0052] The received data signal rx_SWI may be a SWI signal. The comparator 432 may be used to implement high-speed demodulation of the communication signal. The second resistor R2 and the capacitor C in the circuit may delay the SWI signal. The comparator 432 compares the SWI signal with the delayed signal, extracts the envelope signal on the SWI signal, and outputs the non-fully demodulated received data signal rx_data2 to the receiving control unit 41. The corresponding signal timing diagram is shown in FIG. Fig.13 As shown, V0 is the signal of the SWI signal after being delayed by the second resistor R2 and the capacitor C. By comparing the V0 signal and the SWI signal, the SWI signal can be demodulated. Through flexible mode configuration, high-speed and ordinary single-line communication can be achieved.

Specifically, Fig.14As shown, other communication chips serve as host chips, and the communication chip in this embodiment serves as a slave chip. The host chip includes an MCU (MicroControl Unit) and a power supply VCC, a resistor R0, at least one diode D0 and an NPN transistor Q. The MCU includes two GPIO interfaces (General Purpose Input Output). The MCU controls the NPN transistor Q and the diode D0 through GPIO2 to achieve non-100% modulated communication during high-speed communication. It can meet the requirement that the power supply of the chip is not greatly affected while achieving high-speed communication. When receiving a non-100% modulated signal, the MCU can adopt a solution similar to that adopted by the communication chip or adopt an ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) to achieve it.
[0054] In addition to the transmitting circuit 10, the single-line interface 20, the control logic unit 30 and the receiving circuit 40 in the above-mentioned embodiment, the slave chip also includes a diode D1, a capacitor C1 and a power supply VDD. The diode D1 and the capacitor C1 can play a role of buffering and filtering. The signal of the power supply VDD comes from the power supply VCC in the host chip. By designing the transmitting circuit 10 and the receiving circuit 40, compatibility between high-speed communication and ordinary communication can be achieved.
