Abstract
A master is provided which is connected to at least one slave via an interface, wherein the at least one master is designed, in a transmission mode to transfer a valid combination of output data and associated error detection data via the interface, and wherein the at least one master is furthermore designed, in a non-transmission mode, to output an invalid combination of output data and associated error detection data in case of an erroneous output request.
Claims21
A master of a master-slave communication system comprising:
- the master;
- and
- an interface configured to connect the master to at least one slave;
- wherein the master is designed, in a transmission mode to transfer a valid combination of output data and associated error detection data via the interface;
- and
- wherein the master is furthermore designed, in a non-transmission mode, to output an invalid combination of output data and associated error detection data in case of an erroneous output request;
- wherein the invalid combination of output data and the associated error detection data is generated from the valid combination of output data and associated error detection data via changing at least one bit of the output data and/or at least one bit of the associated error detection data.
A slave of a master-slave communication system comprising:
- the slave;
- and
- an interface configured to connect at least one master to the slave;
- wherein the slave is designed, in a transmission mode to transfer a valid combination of output data and associated error detection data via the interface;
- and
- wherein the slave is furthermore designed, in a non-transmission mode, to output an invalid combination of output data and associated error detection data in case of an erroneous output request;
- wherein the invalid combination of output data and associated error detection data is generated from the valid combination of output data and associated error detection data via changing at least one bit of the output data and/or at least one bit of the associated error detection data.
A method for operating a master connected to at least one slave via an interface, the method comprising:
- in a transmission mode of the master, transferring a valid combination of output data and associated error detection data via the interface;
- and
- in a non-transmission mode of the master, outputting an invalid combination of output data and associated error detection data in case of an erroneous output request;
- wherein the invalid combination of output data and associated error detection data is generated from the valid combination of output data and associated error detection data via changing at least one bit of the output data and/or at least one bit of the associated error detection data.
A method for operating a slave connected to at least one master via an interface, the method comprising:
- in a transmission mode of the slave, transferring a valid combination of output data and associated error detection data via the interface;
- and
- in a non-transmission mode of the slave, outputting an invalid combination of output data and associated error detection data in case of an erroneous output request;
- wherein the invalid combination of output data and associated error detection data is generated from the valid combination of output data and associated error detection data via changing at least one bit of the output data and/or at least one bit of the associated error detection data.
