Abstract
A method can be used for addressing a slave integrated circuit connected to a bus. The slave integrated circuit has a default address on the bus. The method includes receiving, at the slave integrated circuit, an addressing message conveyed on the bus. The addressing message contains a replacement address. The method also includes replacing the default address within the slave integrated circuit with the replacement address upon receiving the addressing message, restarting the slave integrated circuit, and upon the restarting, assigning the replacement address as a new default address.
