BUS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

1 . A bus communication system for serialized data transmission comprising: a transmitter, a receiver, and a data line, whereby

said transmitter is arranged for transmitting a data signal over said data line;

said receiver is arranged for receiving said data signal from said data line, characterized in that:

said transmitter is arranged for transmitting an end of transmission signal over said data line after transmission of said data signal is completed; and

said receiver is arranged for receiving said end of transmission signal from said data line.

2 . A bus communication system as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that it further comprises a second data line, whereby:

said transmitter is arranged for transmitting a second data signal and a second end of transmission signal over said second data line and for transmitting a second end of transmission signal over said second data line;

said receiver is arranged for receiving said second data signal and said second end of transmission signal over said second data line.

3 . A bus communication system as claimed in claim 2 , characterized in that the receiver is arranged to signal an end of transmission if it has received said end of transmission signal and said second end of transmission signal.

4 . A bus communication system as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that it further comprises a clock line, whereby:

said transmitter is arranged to transmit a clock signal over said clock line;

said receiver is arranged to receive said clock signal from said clock line.

5 . A bus communication system as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that said data signal is a binary encoded signal comprising a sequence of first and second symbols and a transition between a first symbol and a second symbol is represented by a transition in signal level on said data line.

6 . A bus communication system as claimed in claim 5 , characterized in that an end of transmission signal comprises a single transition in signal level on said data line following the data signal.

7 . A bus communication system as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that said end of transmission signal is followed by a transition to another communication mode allowing communication on a lower speed.

8 . A method of communication for use in a bus communication system for serialized data transmission comprising: a transmitter, a receiver, and a data line, whereby

said transmitter transmits a data signal over said data line;

said receiver receives said data signal from said data line, characterized in that:

said transmitter transmits an end of transmission signal over said data line after transmission of said data signal is completed; and

said receiver receives said end of transmission signal from said data line.

9 . A transmitter for used in a bus communication system for serialized data transmission comprising a transmitter, a receiver, and a data line, whereby

said transmitter is arranged to transmit a data signal over said data line, characterized in that said transmitter is arranged to transmit an end of transmission signal over said data line after transmission of said data signal is completed.

10 . A receiver for use in a bus communication system for serialized data transmission comprising a transmitter, a receiver, and a data line, whereby

said receiver is arranged for receiving a data signal from said data line, characterized in that:

said receiver is arranged for receiving an end of transmission signal over said data line after reception of said data signal is completed.
