Abstract
A communication apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a transmission device including a serial peripheral interface; and a plurality of reception devices configured to receive a data signal and a clock signal from the transmission device. The plurality of reception devices are coupled in a daisy chain via a signal line configured to communicate a chip select signal.
Claims14
A communication apparatus comprising:
- a transmission device including a serial peripheral interface;
- and
- a plurality of reception devices configured to receive a data signal and a clock signal from the transmission device,
- wherein the plurality of reception devices are coupled in a daisy chain via a signal line configured to communicate a chip select signal.
