Abstract:
A method of sending information between first and second modules connected by a signal bus comprises generating a clock signal in the first module, and imposing the clock signal on a first line of the bus. A first pattern of bit values is transmitted from the second module to the first module on a second line of the bus, during first half-periods of each period of said clock signal. A second pattern of bit values is transmitted from the first module to the second module on the second line of the bus, during second half-periods of each period of said clock signal, wherein the second half-periods of each period of said clock signal are different from the first half-periods of each period of said clock signal. Information can then be transmitted from the first module to the second module by altering the second pattern of bit values; and information can be transmitted from the second module to the first module by altering the first pattern of bit values.

Claim (Index 16):
A host module as claimed in  claim 15 , comprising:\n a clock output buffer to drive said clock signal onto a first terminal; an input buffer for receiving a data signal at a second terminal; controller circuitry for detecting the first pattern of bit values in the received data signal during the first half-periods of each period of said clock signal; controller circuitry for generating the second pattern of bit values; output buffer circuitry for driving the second pattern of bit values onto the second terminal during the second half-periods of each period of said clock signal; wherein the controller circuitry is adapted to transmit said information by altering the second pattern of bit values; and to receive information by detecting said altered first pattern of bit values.
