Techniques for detecting a state of a bus
Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for detecting a state of a bus are described. A memory device may receive an access command transmitted to the memory device via a bus. The memory device may transmit data requested by the access command over data lines and a control signal that indicates the bus is in an active state over a control line. The control signal may be transmitted during a first unit interval of a read operation. The control signal may be configured to have a first voltage when the bus is in an idle state and a second voltage when the bus is in the active state. The control line may be configured to have or trend toward the first voltage when the bus is in the idle state.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving, over a bus, a first request for data and a second request for the data, wherein the first request is associated with an error, wherein a first signal indicating that the bus is in an idle state results on the bus based at least in part on the first request being associated with the error, and wherein the second request is based at least in part on the first signal indicating that the bus is in the idle state; and
transmitting, over the bus and based at least in part on receiving the second request, a second signal comprising the data and a third signal comprising an indication that the bus is in an active state.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a fourth signal comprising invalid data results on the bus based at least in part on the first request being associated with the error.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the second signal is based at least in part on decoding the second request.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the second signal comprises:
transmitting a plurality of subsets of the data in a plurality of intervals, each subset of the data being transmitted in a respective interval of the plurality of intervals.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein transmitting the third signal comprises:
transmitting the third signal in an initial interval of the plurality of intervals.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting a signal that indicates whether the second signal is associated with one or more errors.
7. A method, comprising:
transmitting, over a bus, a first request for data;
receiving, over the bus and based at least in part on the first request, a first signal comprising invalid data and a second signal indicating that the bus is in an idle state;
discarding the invalid data based at least in part on the second signal indicating that the bus is in the idle state; and
transmitting, over the bus, a second request for the data based at least in part on discarding the invalid data.
8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
decoding the second signal indicating that the bus is in the idle state based at least in part on receiving the first signal and the second signal, wherein discarding the invalid data is based at least in part on decoding the second signal.
9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
receiving, after transmitting the second request, a third signal comprising the data and a fourth signal indicating that the bus is in an active state; and
decoding the third signal based at least in part on the fourth signal indicating that the bus is in the active state.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein receiving the fourth signal comprises:
receiving the fourth signal in an initial interval of a data operation.
11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
receiving, in a second interval of the data operation, a fifth signal indicating whether the third signal is associated with one or more errors.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the second signal, the fourth signal, the fifth signal, or any combination thereof is received over a control line of the bus.
13. A method, comprising:
transmitting, over a bus, a request for data, wherein a first signal that comprises invalid data and a second signal that indicates that the bus is in an idle state both result on the bus based at least in part on the request being associated with an error;
decoding the second signal based at least in part on the request being associated with the error; and
discarding the invalid data based at least in part on decoding the second signal.
14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:
determining that the bus is in the idle state based at least in part on decoding the second signal, wherein discarding the invalid data is based at least in part on determining that the bus is in the idle state.
15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the first signal and the second signal both result on the bus based at least in part on the request for data being decoded by a memory device.
16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the bus is coupled with a host device and a memory device, and wherein the host device transmits the request for data, decodes the second signal, and discards the invalid data.
17. The method of claim 13 , wherein receiving the first signal comprises:
sampling one or more data lines of the bus during a plurality of intervals to obtain subsets of the invalid data, each subset of the invalid data being obtained in a respective interval of the plurality of intervals.
18. The method of claim 17 , wherein receiving the second signal comprises:
sampling a control line of the bus during an initial interval of the plurality of intervals.
19. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:
transmitting, over the bus, a second request for the data based at least in part on the request being associated with the error,
receiving, based at least in part on the second request, a third signal comprising the data and a fourth signal indicating that the bus is in an active state; and
decoding the third signal to obtain the data based at least in part on the fourth signal indicating that the bus is in the active state.
