  • Process and arrangement for transmitting system-specific data in a synchronous microprocessor system
    Patent number: 6173347
    Abstract: The process and arrangement enable the target-oriented and thereby collision-free transmission of data (addressing and useful data) via a synchronous system bus (SBsyn) in a microprocessor system (&mgr;PS), given data accesses of a microprocessor (&mgr;P) of the microprocessor system (&mgr;PS) to peripheral apparatuses (SP, DAC, AE) of the microprocessor (e.g. a memory, a digital-analog circuit, a display) that are system-compatible and system-incompatible with respect to data transmission protocols (e.g. I2C protocol). A control signal (SS), e.g. fashioned as a chip select signal, is transmitted on a separate control line (SL) between the microprocessor (&mgr;P) and the system-incompatible apparatus (AE) for the selection of the system-compatible and system-incompatible peripheral apparatuses (SP, DAC, AE) of the microprocessor (&mgr;P). Free addresses are respectively assigned to the system-compatible and the system-incompatible apparatuses (SP, DAC, AE).
