Abstract
A multi-port data communication apparatus includes a first port having a first physical interface circuit configured to couple the multi-port data communication apparatus to a first serial bus that has a first line and a second line, a second port having a second physical interface circuit configured to couple the multi-port data communication apparatus to a second serial bus that has a first line and a second line, and a controller. The controller is configured to use the first port during a first transaction restricted to transmissions over the first serial bus and use the first port and the second port in a second transaction in which data is transmitted over the second line of the first serial bus and the second line of the second serial bus in accordance with timing provided by a clock signal transmitted over the first line of the first serial bus.
