ABSTRACT:
A bus system and a command delivering method includes (a) delivering a first command to a first slave device, and (b) delivering a second command to a second slave device at a point in time which is less than or equal to a latency time of the second slave device in advance of the completion of data transfer according to the first command. Accordingly, preparation necessary for data transfer can begin sooner, thereby reducing idle clock cycles of a data bus.
