Abstract
Data speed in an IC system is increased by operating a master CPU () to pipeline a stop/start/address byte transfer instruction by setting a stop bit, setting a start bit, and storing an address byte, operating a control circuit () in response to the stop bit to automatically send a stop condition on the IC bus, operating a timing circuit () to count a predetermined delay from the stop condition, and operating the control circuit () in response to the start bit to automatically send a start condition on IC bus after the delay has elapsed. The control circuit () automatically sends the address byte on the IC bus after the start condition has been sent.
