Abstract
A method and slave devices are disclosed in which an address assignment to slave devices takes place with the aid of a collision detection. The slave device receives an initialization signal, transmits an identifier over a bus in response to the initialization signal, checks whether a collision occurs on the bus when transmitting the identifier, and if a collision occurs, places the slave device into an inactive state, and if no collision occurs, receives an address for the slave device after the transmission of the identifier.
