ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for increasing the efficiency of communications between master devices and slave devices in a system. A master normally sends a command to a slave if a token from the slave is received. Determining whether a token is of the correct type requires multiple processing cycles. Alternatively, if all of the slaves have available buffer slots, an “all token available” signal is asserted. When the “all token available” signal is received, the master can send any command without having to decode any of the tokens.
