Patent ID: 8594225

Claim:
An integrated circuit arrangement comprising: (a) a plurality of connection contacts for a serial exchange of at least one of data or signals with external components and apparatuses; and (b) a control apparatus for a cycle-clocked receiving of at least one of data or signals by means of a signal voltage on at least one of said plurality of connection contacts, said voltage being modulated among at least a low, a middle, and a high voltage states; wherein said control apparatus further comprises a switching apparatus, which is designed and/or controlled in such a manner that said data is sent in a sending mode via said connection contacts and wherein said switching apparatus, after having received a slope changing from one of said voltage states into another one of said voltage states, pulls said another one of said voltage states before a chronological expiration of half a clock cycle of said cycle into one of said voltage states that is different from a viewpoint of said another one of said voltage states.
