Abstract
A dual-channel network with in each case one communication controller () for each of the two channels (A, B). In order to ensure that the two channels (A, B) operate on a temporally matched basis, an exchange of current states ('ready, 'abort') takes place via an external or an on-chip interface (). The cold start operation is carried out only if, and so long as, both communication controllers are in the “ready' state.
