Number of Repeats:
The Number of Repeats is the number of Link/Repeaters that may be connected in a loop configuration.
The sum of Slaves in a Master/Slave loop is the number of repeats for that type of loop. The number of
Peers minus one is the number of repeats in a Peer-to-Peer loop.
Asynchronous Communication:
This type of communication does not transmit a separate clock signal with the data signal. Link/Repeaters
support asynchronous communication. A communication scheme where the clock needs to be transmitted
(Synchronous Communication) is not supported unless the data and clock are transmitted together on the
same pin.
