ABSTRACT:
A high speed, synchronous, processor bus is physically and electrically extended by a bus extension unit to provide data communication between a number of data handling units. The bus extension unit intercouples a system bus to an extended buses for communicating information therebetween. The extension monitors both bus and, upon recognition of an initiation for an information transfer transaction from one bus to the other, will relay the initiation of the transaction, implement the transaction, then relay back any handshake signals that form a part of the transaction, all with a minimum delay of one bus cycle.
