Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a high throughput, low pin count, low power, and small area solution for the interface between a host device and a wireless communication circuit. In one embodiment of the invention, a system for wireless communication using a host-slave interface is disclosed. The system is comprised of a host device having a slave interface, and a wireless communication circuit having a master interface coupled to the host device's slave interface. The wireless communication circuit transfers data between a wireless network and the host device. Using such a system, a wireless communication system with a host-slave interface is produced.
