An integrated circuit (IC) comprises a network and a plurality of modules (M 1 , M 2 , M 3 ) which communicate to each other via the network. A first module (M 1 ) sends a plurality of requests (REQ) to at least two second modules (M 2 , M 3 , Mn) and the second modules send individual responses (RESP 2 , RESP 3 , RESPn) to the first module, indicating a result of the execution of the requests. The integrated circuit (IC) comprises a network capable of sending a single response (SRESP) to the first module (M 1 ) dependent on the individual responses (RESP 2 , RESP 3 up to and including RESPn) from the second modules (M 2 , M 3 , Mn). The single response (SRESP) can indicate that at least one second module has executed the requests (REQ) or that a specific error has occurred in at least one of the second modules (M 2 , M 3 , Mn). The single response (SRESP) can also indicate which types of error have occurred in the second modules (M 2 , M 3 , Mn). If various errors have occurred, the single response (SRESP) can indicate which error is the most serious error or information about all errors. |
