APPARATUS AND CONTROL INTERFACE THEREFOR

摘要

An apparatus (100) comprises a number of sub-systems (110, 120) and a control interface (105) operably coupled to sub-systems (110, 120) for routeing data therebetween. A strobe generation function (225, 325) is operably coupled to the control interface (105) and configured to generate a plurality of different strobe signals to differentiate between different intended receiving devices. Thus, different strobe signals may be multiplexed onto a single control interface link, based on a pulse width or voltage magnitude characteristics of the respective strobe signals. A strobe decoder function is operably coupled to the control interface (105) and configured to decode a plurality of different strobe signals to differentiate between triggering sub-systems on receiving devices.
