Abstract

A mixed signal system includes a digital domain and an analog domain. The analog domain includes a plurality of BARs. Each BAR includes addressable registers. The digital domain includes an interface configured to communicate with the analog domain, e.g., write data to an addressable register within a BAR by transmitting a first select signal to select a first BAR of the plurality of BARs. The interface transmits an address of the addressable register of the first BAR and broadcasts the write data to the first BAR and at least one BAR other than the first BAR. The analog domain transmits data from a second BAR of the plurality of BARs to the digital domain by gating a select BAR signal associated with each BAR with its corresponding content stored therein to form respective BAR output and further by gating the respective BAR outputs with one another.
