Abstract
An electrical circuit for a bus interface and/or a bus bridge is described. The electrical circuit comprises a global master being coupled with a first bus and at least one function block being coupled with the global master. An address and/or data is transmitted from the first bus to the function block. The function block comprises a application specific functionality for carrying out a function in connection with the received address and/or data.
Claims12
An electrical circuit for a bus interface and/or a bus bridge comprising:
- a global master being coupled with a first bus and at least one function block being coupled with the global master, wherein an address and/or data is transmitted from the first bus to the function block and wherein the function block comprises an application specific functionality for carrying out a function in connection with the received address and/or data, and
- a function block decoder being coupled with the first bus and the function blocks for receiving the address from the first bus and for selecting one function block out of a number of function blocks as a function of the address.
A method of operating an electrical circuit for a bus interface and/or a bus bridge, wherein a global master is coupled with a first bus and at least one function block is coupled with the global master, wherein an address and/or data is transmitted from the first bus to the function block, and wherein the function block comprises an application specific functionality for carrying out a function in connection with the received address and/or data, and
- a function block decoder is coupled with the first bus and the function blocks for receiving the address from the first bus and for selecting one function block out of a number of function blocks as a function of the address.
