Abstract
The present invention provides a method and a device for serial transmission of data between a processor module and at least one peripheral element with the aid of a timing signal, a data signal and a selection signal. To reduce the number of lines necessary for the serial data transmission between the processor module and the at least one peripheral element at high data rate, the timing signal may be transmitted via two timing lines between the processor module and the at least one peripheral element, the data signal may be transmitted via two data lines between the processor module and the at least one peripheral element, and the selection signal may be transmitted via the data lines.
Claims15
A method for a serial transmission of data between a processor module and at least one peripheral element, comprising:
- transmitting a timing signal via two timing lines between the processor module and the at least one peripheral element;
- transmitting a data signal via two data lines between the processor module and the at least one peripheral element;
- and
- transmitting a selection signal via the two data lines.
A device for a processor module for serial transmission of data between the processor module and at least one peripheral element, comprising:
- a first arrangement for transmitting a timing signal via two timing lines between the processor module and the at least one peripheral element;
- a second arrangement for transmitting a data signal via two data lines between the processor module and the at least one peripheral element;
- and
- a third arrangement for transmitting a selection signal via the two data lines.
A processor module, comprising:
- a device for a serial transmission of data between the processor module and at least one peripheral element;
- wherein the device transmits a timing signal via two timing lines between the processor module and the at least one peripheral element;
- wherein the device transmits a data signal via two data lines between the processor module and the at least one peripheral element;
- and
- wherein the device transmits a selection signal via the two data lines.
