Abstract
A microcontroller can interact with external ASICs using a multi-serial peripheral interface. The ASICs and the microcontroller can be included in an electrical device or an optical-electrical device. The microcontroller can implement the interface to access the registers of the different ASICs in bulk interactions, including a bulk status request, bulk configuration setting, and bulk data reads.
