Abstract
Methods for bidirectional communication and bidirectional communication buffers are described. In one embodiment, a method for bidirectional communication using first and second communication buses, which have opposite directions of data transmission, is described. The method for bidirectional communication involves detecting a signal from a first communication bus and buffering the detected signal and transmitting the buffered signal through a second communication bus while blocking data transmission from the second communication bus. Other embodiments are also described.
