Abstract
A communication system ( ) has a first processor ( ) and a second processor ( ). The first processor ( ) has a first number of address bits (e.g., A=5) to select a first device ( ), and the second processor ( ) has a second number of address bits (e.g., B=4 to select a second device ( ). The processors ( ) are coupled to the devices ( ) by a shared bus ( ) with a total number of bit lines ( ) which is smaller than or equal to the sum of the first and second numbers of bits (e.g., N=8). The bit lines ( ) are assigned to a first outer set ( ), a second outer set ( ) and to an inner set ( ). LSB-bits from the first processor ( ) are coupled to the first outer set ( ), LSB-bits from the second processor ( ) are coupled to the second outer set ( ), and MSB-bit of first and second processors ( ) are multiplexed to the lines of the inner set ( ).
