  • Patent number: 4710893
    Abstract: A high speed bus structure and data transfer method to provide data transfer capability between a central processing device and a plurality of electrical modules coupled to the bus. In the preferred embodiment, a central processing unit is coupled to a plurality of electrical modules for data reception and transmission. In a module "listen" cycle, the central processor (CP) device generates a function code which is transmitted on a command bus coupled to each electrical module. The CP device asserts data required by the particular module function on the data bus coupled to each electrical module. The CP device transmits an enable signal (ES) on an enable bus to enable the particular electrical module which is to receive data and asserts a clock signal on a clock line coupled to each module. The enabled electrical module receives valid data from the CP device upon sensing a deasserted clock line denoting the end of a clock cycle.
