Abstract
An address shadow feature and methods of using the same. A slave controller of the present invention includes an address register coupled to receive a device address from a secondary bus interface. A match circuit is coupled to the address register and compares the device address to a shadow address, generating a match signal upon detection of a match between the shadow address and the device address. An interrupt generation circuit generates an interrupt signal in response to the match signal.
