A circuit arrangement for a data processing system is configured to process data in multiple modules. The circuit arrangement is configured to provide a clock as well as a time base and/or a base of at least one further physical quantity for each of the multiple modules. The circuit arrangement also comprises a central routing unit, which is connected to several of the multiple modules. Via the central routing unit, the modules can periodically exchange data based on the time base and/or on the base of the at least one further physical quantity. The several modules are configured to process data independently of and in parallel to other modules of the several modules.

Circuit arrangement for a data processing system and method for data processing

A companion chip for a microcontroller has a microprocessor bus domain and a peripheral module bus domain, which are connected to each other via a bus bridge. The microprocessor bus domain includes at least one microprocessor core, and the peripheral module bus domain includes at least one global time-management module as well as modules for communication with the outside world and for signal processing. The companion chip further includes at least one FIFO module for transmitting data within the chip, and between the chip and the microcontroller, and a management module connected to the FIFO module, which ensures the consistency of the data by associating a respective time value and/or an angle of rotation.
