Data communications between integrated circuits involves communicating via unidirectional ring line; each integrated circuit communicates with exactly two adjacent integrated circuits

摘要

The method involves at least some integrated circuits (1.1-1.4) communicating via a unidirectional ring buss (2) or external Unibus, whereby each integrated circuit communicates with exactly two adjacent integrated circuits and each receives, processes and transmits data. For data processing the data are fed via a parallel bus to a defined functional unit within the integrated circuit and/or from the functional unit to the unidirectional ring bus. Independent claims are also included for the following: a circuit for data communications between integrated circuits.
