Abstract
A wide variety of communication methods are described, both bit serial and bit parallel, used in current microprocessor and microcontroller designs. Nine different coprocessor interfaces are illustrated. Practical examples of burst and pipeline access, data synchronization, bus snooping address recognition, and resolution of masters provide a basis for further studies of interface architectures for interchip communication.<>
