Abstract
A data-transmission system (100) including a master device (101) and at least one slave device (105) communicates messages having an address (1503, 1505) and data (1100) from the slave device (105) to the master device (101). The address (1503, 1505) is communicated synchronously and the data (1100) is communicated asynchronously. Furthermore, the address (1503, 1505) determines the control information and timing signal transmitted by the master device (101) to the slave devices (105-N).
