Abstract:
A modified serial peripheral interface (SPI) is provided in each of a master device and a plurality of slave devices that does not use a slave select line. The master device may thus engage in full-duplex serial communication with each slave device through an SPI MOSI line, an SPI MISO line, and an SPI clock line.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 13 , further comprising:\n from the master device, transmitting an addressed frame for each slave device over the output line, wherein a header in each addressed frame includes the initial address for the corresponding slave device and wherein a body of each addressed frame includes a line assignment for the corresponding slave device selected from the group consisting of the clock line, the output line, and the input line, wherein the master device is further configured to detect a temporary discharge of the assigned line by the corresponding slave device as an indication that the corresponding slave device has a frame to transmit to the master device.
