Abstract:
1. A device communicating via a daisy chain connected to serial bus comprising: a first register for storing a first two-level control signal, the first two-level control signal is initially set at a first level state; a second register for storing a second two-level control signal, the second two-level control signal is initially set at a first level state; a first data transmission port connected to a first conducting path of a serial bus to receive the serial data transmitted on a first conducting path, the serial data including a control data, a device address and a device data; a second data transmission port connected to a second conducting path of said serial bus to send the serial data which is sent out from the output of said first data transmission port on said second conducting path if the first two-level control signal is at second level state; a device address register for storing a device address as device identification to said device; a controller responding to a first control data in the serial data which is sent out from the output of said first data transmission port to store the device address in said serial data into said device address register and set the first two-level control signal to second level state if the first two-level control signal is at the first level state; a device address comparator to compare the device address in the serial data which is sent out from the output of said first data transmission port with the device address stored in said device address register and set the second two-level control signal to the second level state if a match signal is detected, and set the second two-level control signal to the first level state if a no match signal is detected; a device data receiver to receive the device data from the serial data which is sent out from the output of said first data transmission port for further processing in said device if the second two-level control signal is at the second level state.
