EXCHANGING INFORMATION BETWEEN COMPONENTS COUPLED WITH AN A I2C BUS VIA SEPARATE BANKS

摘要

A method and apparatus for exchanging information between components coupled with an a I²C bus via separate banks. In one embodiment, the apparatus is for use in a wireless communication system for communicating with a wireless network and comprises a host processor having an I²C interface, a transceiver having an I²C interface, a physical interface coupling the host processor and the transceiver, the physical interface having an I²C bus coupled to the I²C interface of both the host processor and the transceiver and multiple separate banks of memory accessible by the host processor and the transceiver to exchange information between the host processor and the transceiver, where the host processor and the transceiver access the plurality of banks of memory via their respective I²C interfaces.
