A method of transmitting information over a multidrop bus from a driving agent to one or more receiving agents comprises: providing a common bus clock to both the driving agent and the one or more receiving agents; issuing a bus transaction from the driving agent to the one or more receiving agents, including: the driving agent driving multiple information elements for a request onto an address bus at a rate that is a multiple of the frequency of the bus clock; the driving agent activating a first strobe signal to identify when the one or more receiving agents should sample the information elements driven on the address bus; and transferring data from the driving agent to the one or more receiving agents comprising: the driving agent driving multiple information elements onto a data bus at a rate that is a different multiple of the frequency of the bus clock; and the driving agent activating a second strobe to identify when the one or more receiving agents should sample the information elements driven onto the data bus. |
