Abstract
A method of and a circuit arrangement for data transfer between a master means and slave means, in which bit sequences are transferred each having an address field for addressing the respective slave means to be controlled, a control field for control information, and a data field. The data bit number of the data field may be different depending on the addressed slave means. The bit sequences transmitted from the master means are read back directly to the master means, so that the occurrence of corrupt bits in the bit sequence is recognized and a transfer of the bit sequence recognized as corrupt to the addressed slave means can be prevented.
