Abstract
A data communication method for semiconductor chips including transmitting load control data, pilot data and a transmission clock signal from a first semiconductor chip to one or more second semiconductor chips that are each coupled to one or more electrical loads, driving the electrical loads based on a timing defined by the load control data, deriving a transmission rate by dividing the transmission clock signal by a division factor prescribed by the pilot data, and transmitting diagnostic data at the transmission rate from the one or more second semiconductor chips to the first semiconductor chip.
