Abstract

A bus interface permits an upstream bandwidth and a downstream bandwidth to be separately selected. In one implementation a link control module forms a bidirectional link with another bus interface by separately configuring link widths of an upstream unidirectional sub-link and a downstream unidirectional sub-link.
