IE Bus
13.1 Outline
IEBus (Inter Equipment Bus) is a small-scale two-line serial bus interface intended to transfer data
between equipment and equipment. It is designed for use in automotive and general industrial
applications.
The communication protocol of the IEBus has the following features:
•
Multi-master method
All the units connected to the IEBus can transfer data to the other units.
•
Multiaddress communication function (one unit can communicate to two or more units simultaneously)
Group communication: multiaddress communication to group unit
Broadcasting communication: multiaddress communication to all units
•
Three different transfer rates can be selected:
Mode
•
Transmit Data Buffer : 8-Byte FIFO
•
Receive Data Buffer : 8-Byte FIFO
•
CPU internal operation frequency: 12 MHz, 12.58 MHz
