Abstract
A method for communicating information from a first integrated circuit (IC) to a second IC. A sync signal is transmitted between the two IC's to indicate the start of a transmission of a frame of information from the first IC to the second IC. In this case, a frame of information includes a tag slot and a plurality of data slots. The tag slot contains a series of tag bits wherein each tag bit is associated with a data slot. The value of each tag bit indicates whether its corresponding data slot contains valid or invalid data. The first IC sends the tag slot and data slots to the second IC.
