Abstract
A serial bus which comprises two wires (a clock signal and a data signal), one of which transmits high voltages in addition to the two-level voltages used for conventional serial digital data transmission. During the second part of the transmission one of the serial wires changes function to a high voltage signal that is used to program the location which was addressed in the first part of the transmission. The high voltage signal may be a simple DC level for programming digital data into memory, or it can be a set of pulses with either fixed or variable parameters for programming digital, multi-level or analog levels into memory.
