  • Patent number: 5809258
    Abstract: A pipelined bus which can support more than one channel between data sources and data destinations at a time. The bus includes an arbitration bus, a command bus and a data bus. In accordance with the bus protocol, different channels may access the various bus components in the same clock cycle. For example, the data source of one channel may issue a command on the command bus to its selected data destination to get ready to receive data while at the same time, a data source of a second channel actually transmits data on the data bus to its selected data destination. During the same clock cycle, a third data source can be selected by the arbitration bus to initiate or resume a channel.
