US Patent 7814250 Serialization of data for multi-chip bus implementation

Bus communication for components of a system on a chip. In one aspect of the invention, a system includes a matrix operative to select destinations for information on buses connected to the matrix. A first serializer provided on a first device serializes information received from the matrix and sends the serialized information over a communication bus. A second serializer provided on a second device receives the serialized information and deserializes the serialized information, where the deserialized information is provided to a peripheral provided on the second device.
