ABSTRACT:
A method and system for sequentially addressing multiple components, having a limited number of externally available address lines, on a communication bus. The method and system employs an addressing scheme in combination with a specific interconnection of the components. This combination enables each of the components to be addressed in a sequential fashion by dynamically altering their address. Thus, allowing a virtually unlimited number of components to be coupled to the communication bus without the traditional concerns over the number of externally available address lines.
