ABSTRACT:
A multi-port switching system and method for a computer bus allows for selective coupling of a number of bus initiator devices to at least one bus target device to simulate a dual-ported interface to the bus target device. By use of a number of switching circuits corresponding with the bus initiator busses, a single-ported bus target device may be utilized in applications where dual-ported or greater interfaces are required. The multi-port switching system and method utilizes a low-cost hardware based design which adds minimal overhead to the operation of the computer bus.
