PRODUCTION DATA
Implementing the SDQ single-wire serial interface host using bit-banging over GPIO is possible. In this case, consider additional error checking for the reset routine of the TMF0020 to verify that the target operates as expected on the bus.
Whenever the host sends a reset, the target devices acknowledge the reset with a presence pulse. Before the presence pulse, the host must confirm that the bus releases and returns to a high level, indicating that nothing is holding the bus unexpectedly low. As the minimum tPDH is 15μs, the host look for a logic high on the bus 10μs after releasing the bus at the end of the reset is sufficient to confirm the bus released for the target devices to acknowledge.
