  • Method and apparatus for accelerating communication between controllable devices
    Patent number: 6525501
    Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for data communication between controllable devices, and more particularly, between a first programmable device (21) and at least one second programmable device (31) coupled to a processor. In one embodiment in accordance with the present invention, the second programmable device (31) includes an addressable memory location and an output, and is adapted to receive data from a processor. In this embodiment, the first programmable device (21) is programmed to decode at least one addressable memory location from the processor and enabled to transmit each address to each second programmable device (31) in a first simultaneous write operation. The first programmable device (21) then selects at least one of the second programmable devices (31) to output a signal (33) corresponding to the data in a second write operation.
