Bus communication for components of a system on a chip. In one aspect of the invention, a serializer for interfacing bus communications for a slave in a bus system includes one or more shift registers that serialize information to send over a communication bus and deserialize information received from the communication bus. A mechanism provides parallel bus information from a bus matrix to the shift registers for serialization and communication to the slave, where the mechanism provides deserialized information received from the shift registers to a bus matrix. The mechanism inserts one or more wait cycles in communication with the matrix during the serialization and deserialization.
