HYBRID PARALLEL/SERIAL BUS INTERFACE

摘要

A hybrid serial/parallel bus interface has a data block demultiplexing device 40. The data block demultiplexing device 40 has an input configured to receive a data block and demultiplexes the data block into a plurality of nibbles 422. For each nibble, a parallel to serial converter 42i converts the nibble into serial data. A line transfers each nibble's serial data. A serial to parallel converter 46i converts each nibble's serial data to recover that nibble. A data block reconstruction device 48 combines the recovered nibbles into the data block.
