Abstract
Methods and systems for transferring a high-speed data signal between more than two electronic devices within a system comprising a master device and a plurality of slave devices are presented. The master device and the plurality of slave devices are connected through high-speed links between high-speed interfaces, thereby forming a closed ring. The high-speed interfaces are comprised by the master device and each of the plurality of slave devices, respectively. A common low frequency clock signal is provided by the master device to each of the slave devices, and a high-speed interface communication method for communication between the master device and the plurality of slave devices through the high-speed links is used.
