Abstract
A bus interface connects a device to a bus that connects a plurality of devices to one another. The bus interface described is distinguished in that a timer provided in the bus interface or a timer provided in the chip that contains the bus interface is used to ascertain the timing of operations taking place within the bus interface and/or on the bus. This allows data required for configuring the bus interface to be acquired more simply, more quickly, more accurately and more comprehensively than is the case up to now. In addition, the bus interface is consequently able to match itself to the given circumstances.
