  • Patent number: 6286125
    Abstract: A method of providing error detection information for data transferred between a sender and a receiver interconnected via a bus in a data communication system. The sender transmits data to the receiver on the bus, generates error detection information for the transmitted data, transmits a notification signal to the receiver to indicate start of error detection information transfer, and transmits the error detection information to the receiver on the bus. The receiver generates error detection information for data received from the sender, and compares the receiver generated error detection information to error detection information received from the sender, posting an error condition in case of one or more mismatches.
