FULL MASK PARTIAL BIT FIELD (FM PBF) TECHNIQUE FOR LATENCY SENSITIVE MASKED WRITE

摘要

Systems methods and apparatus for data communication are provided. An apparatus maybe configured to generate a mask field in a packet to be transmitted through an interface to a slave device the mask field having a first number of bits provide a control bit field in the packet the control bit field having a second number of bits where the second number of bits is less than the first number of bits and transmit the packet through the interface. The packet may be addressed to a control register of the slave device. The control register may have the first number of bits. Each bit in the control bit field may correspond to a bit of the control register that is identified by the mask field.
