Abstract
The purpose of SCI is to provide a fast interconnection technology for up to thousands of components. This chapter discusses several aspects of the protocols used in SCI, especially regarding requirements and possibilities for their implementation in hardware. One motivation behind the SCI standardization effort was to enable SCI as interconnect for peripherals or memory subsystems. Therefore, we discuss how the protocols can be implemented efficiently and in a small chip area.
