Abstract

In this paper an ASIC implementation of a novel bus protocol is presented. This bus is designed to transmit data inside the lowest level of hierarchy of an industrial automation system. Messages consist of control and measurement information between separate modules of a distributed actuator. The bus protocol circuit is designed to form a macrocell which can be used alone as a simple ASIC or as a communication part inside a larger ASIC. The bus protocol was first tested with FPGA circuits and then implemented as an ASIC circuit
