Abstract

A bus system is provided. A plurality of slave devices are electrically connected to a master device through an enhanced serial peripheral interface (eSPI) bus. The slave devices are electrically connected together via a control line. A first slave device is configured to provide a first clock signal to each second slave device via the control line, so that a second clock signal of each second slave device is synchronized with the first clock signal. After the second clock signals are synchronized with the first clock signal, each second slave device is configured to adjust a phase of the second clock signal in a clock phase shift stage, so that each second clock signal has a phase difference with the first clock signal. The phase differences between the second clock signals of the second slave devices and the first clock signal are different.
