Abstract
A control interface unit ( ) for the realization of a simultaneous controlling of at least two logical units is provided, as well as an appertaining method, in which a control field evaluation unit ( ) evaluates a transmitted control field (SF) and produces a control value (SF′). Depending on the control value (SF′), an address field conversion unit ( ) converts a transmitted address field (AF) into a relevant address (ASIC-Adr), by which a data field selection unit ( ) selects, dependent on the control value (SF′), a data field (DF , DF ) that fits the address. In this way, one obtains, with the use of a common control interface, a simple and economical simultaneous controlling of at least two logical units.
