  • Serial bus system using bitwise arbitration for independently communicating with and controlling individual bus systems
    Patent number: 5903565
    Abstract: A star coupler for serial bus systems operates in compliance with the carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) method. The star coupler connects a plurality of individual bus systems to corresponding T-drivers and associated logic circuits, so that arbitration is performed within the total bus system in which all individual bus systems are included. Feedback suppression is used to assure unidirectional data flow, while error detection is combined with switching logic to disable faulty individual bus systems without affecting the other connected individual bus systems.
