Abstract
A device for controlling a transfer of information from a plurality of electronic components through a communication bus to a host device, comprising a chain of processing blocks connected to the electronic components, each of the processing blocks associated with one, or a set, of the electronic components, which processing blocks are arranged such that during the transfer of information an authorization signal propagates through the chain of processing blocks and, when the authorization signal encounters a processing block associated with one of the electronic components or one of the sets of electronic components which contains an information value to be transferred, effecting the transfer of the information value through the communication bus to the host device. The processing blocks are arranged to coordinate their processing in accordance with a clock signal generated independent of a propagation status of the authorization signal within the chain of processing blocks.
