ABSTRACT:
A multi-master serial bus system supporting, for example, up to 32 masters, and usable in applications requiring high-speed communications within a shelf. A plurality of nodes (2, 3, 4, 5) are interconnected by a highway (1) over which data is transmitted between the nodes. Each node has access control means (6) which ensures only one node accesses the highway at a time by means of an arbitration scheme. Data transmission involves an arbitration phase and a transmission phase and the highway comprises three lines, two of which are shared and perform respective functions in the arbitration and transmission phases (FIG. 1).
