Abstract: A transmit circuit for sending and/or receiving at least one single-ended signal and for sending a differential signal on two transmission lines, including: a differential amplifier for sending signal parts of a differential signal via the two transmission lines, two impedance matching resistances that are situated between the transmission lines, connected in series, for the impedance matching of the differential amplifier; a switch that is connected in series between the impedance matching resistances; at least one single-ended transmit amplifier for sending or receiving a single-ended signal via an associated one of the transmission lines, each of the at least one single-ended transmit amplifiers being connected to a terminal of the switch that is connected, via the corresponding impedance matching resistance to the associated transmission line.

Abstract: A method and a system for controlling a state machine are described. In the method, a script is used via which each arbitrary path in the state machine. The script is created using a language which includes the “data” command, the “data” command allowing reading and writing of data.

Abstract: An interface module has an integrated component for replacing a component on a circuit board, the terminal contacts on the bottom side of the interface module being designed as provided for the contacts of the component on the circuit board, the interface module being divided into an adaptor part as a base module and a protocol converter part as a tool access module.

Abstract: In a method for carrying out bidirectional communications between a first electronic unit and a second electronic unit, a clock signal and an input signal synchronized with the clock signal are transmitted from the first electronic unit to the second electronic unit, and the second electronic unit transmits a response sequence in an output signal to the first electronic unit. In addition, an unambiguous test sequence is generated in the second electronic unit and transmitted to the first electronic unit prior to the response sequence in the output signal, a time sequence between the test sequence and the response sequence in the output signal making it possible to take into account a time delay between the first electronic unit and the second electronic unit.
