ABSTRACT:
A segmenting scheme and arrangement for digital serial busses such as an I.sup.2 C bus is provided. The segments are broken apart from the master unit by a switch such as a low-impedance bidirectional analog multiplexer. The bus may be of various types such as an I.sup.2 C, a Universal Serial Bus or other similar types of busses. The bus is bidirectional from the various slave or downstream units to the master unit and the various slave devices can operate at different speeds by allowing each segment to adjust the speed of that segment.
