1. A system comprising:
an interface gateway device coupled to communicate with one or more host controllers using one or more first serial data interfaces using one or more first serial protocols, the interface gateway device configured to convert first data formatted using one of the one or more first serial protocols to second data formatted using a second serial protocol to communicate on a second serial data interface;
a first group of digitally controllable elements communicatively coupled to the interface gateway device via the second serial data interface, wherein each digitally controllable element of the first group of digitally controllable elements includes a plurality of writeable registers, and further includes an address control circuit configured to
receive a first address value from the second serial data interface;
receive a plurality of data values from the second serial data interface; and
write at least one of the plurality of data values to at least one of the plurality of writeable registers.
