Abstract

A single communication interface between a master device and at least one slave device and a method with internal/external addressing mode using the single communication interface. In the single communication interface between a master device and at least one slave device, the master device includes a master interface and the slave device comprises a slave interface and a slave bus-system, whereas the slave interface is directly connected to the slave bus-system, wherein the master interface and the slave interface communicate on a packet based protocol by an internal and external addressing mode inside the slave interface, whereas the addressing mode, data transfer direction and data address location are coded by the packet based protocol inside a first 32-bit word of each transmission between the master device and slave device over the single communication interface.
