SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE HAVING A REDUCED NUMBER OF CONNECTING LINES

摘要

An electronic communication system including at least one first communication unit and one second communication unit which are connected to one another by means of at least one first data line. The communication system has a data transmission protocol according to which, in at least one first data transmission mode for synchronized data transmission, the first communication unit transmits a data request signal or a clock signal to the second communication unit via the first data line at least once and the second communication unit transmits a data signal to the first communication unit via the first data line in response to the data request signal or the clock signal.
