Abstract
An interface configured to support a signaling protocol between a first hardware component and a second hardware component. The interface comprises a first pin, a second pin, and a third pin. The first pin is configured to provide a write clock signal sourced from the first hardware component to the second hardware component during a write operation. The second pin is configured to receive a read clock signal sourced from the second hardware component during a read operation. The third pin is configured to transfer serial control information from the first hardware component to the second hardware component during both the read operation and the write operation. Only the third pin is used to transfer the serial control information. The serial control information includes control information for both the read operation and the write operation.
