Processor Local Bus (PLB) General processor local bus Synchronous, nonmultiplexed bus Separate Read, Write data buses Supports concurrent Read, Writes Multimaster, programmable-priority, arbitrated ...

Silicon densities, both for ASICs and FPGAs, can now support true systems-on-a-chip (SoCs). This level of design requires busing systems to connect various components, including 1 or more ...

Bidirectional buses (e.g., I 2 C, SMBus, and LIN) have become ubiquitous in today’s electronics due in part to their simplicity. Using only two wires – data and clock – multiple devices can ...

Although the ability to expand a home computer with more RAM, storage and other features has been around for as long as home computers exist, it wasn’t until the IBM PC that the concept of a fully ...

An internal channel that transmits the RAM location of the data being processed or the instruction being fetched. The number of lines (wires) in the address bus determines the maximum amount of RAM ...

This application note describes how to control an external EEPROM by using the I2 C bus features. The sample code shown in this application note writes and reads 4-byte (word) data to and from the ...
