A data processing configuration with a first circuit configuration (1)
that
connects a first communication bus (2) with a second communication bus (3).
The first circuit configuration (1) is the bus master of the first communication
bus (2). Furthermore, a second circuit configuration (4) is connected
with the first communication bus (2). By employing a wait signal (11),
which is generated in the second circuit configuration (4) and transmitted
to the first circuit configuration (1), it is possible to expand read and
write access to the first communication bus (2) to any random number of
clock cycles.
