Abstract
An electrical circuit for transmitting signals between two masters and one or more slaves is described. The two masters and the slave or slaves are connected to one another via a bus system. At least one master data signal can be generated by each of the two masters, which signal can be received by the slave or slaves. A three-state gate is present at each of the outputs of the two masters at which the respective master data signal is present. The three-state gates are effective either as closed or as open switches. The three-state gates are activated in such a way that the three-state gate associated with the one of the two masters acts as a closed switch, and the three-state gate associated with the other of the two masters acts as an open switch.
