    摘要: A printed circuit board (PCB) processor card is described. The processor card includes a processor, its associated processor card system bus, a clock generator, and its associated processor card system clock bus. The processor card is designed to include the elements that are most likely to be upgraded, i.e. the processor and the clock. As such it is particularly useful when employed for system upgrades.

    摘要: To interface a system control unit with an input/unit in a computer system, an interface includes a transmitter for sequentially transmitting data packets and parity signals between the system control unit and the input/output unit, and a receiver for sequentially receiving the data packets and parity signals. The receiver includes a buffer for storing a plurality of the data packets. The stored data packets are controllably unloaded from the buffer, and a buffer emptied signal is sent back to the transmitter as each data packet is unloaded. The transmitter has a counter which calculates the number of data packets stored in the buffer and asserts a signal that prevents the transmitter from transmitting additional data packets when the buffer becomes full. The receiver compares the parity of the received data packets to the respective parity signals to check for parity errors. The receiver sends an acknowledge signal back to the transmitter in the absence of a parity error, and sends a retry signal back to the transmitter in the presence of a parity error. Preferably the data packets are transmitted along with a separate transmitter clock signal and respective command available signals, and the returned signals are sent back to the transmitter with a separate receiver clock signal, to permit synchronous reception of the data packets or returned signals. Respective data synchronizers in the transmitter and receiver eliminate the effect of skew between the transmitter and receiver clock signals.

    摘要: A memory device having a scalable bandwidth I/O data bus includes a semiconductor die having a substrate with a first and a second surface. The substrate includes contact pads arranged in rows across the first surface and across the second surface. The contact pads on one surface may be physically arranged in vertical alignment with a corresponding contact pad on the other surface and may be electrically coupled to the corresponding contact pad using a via. The substrate also includes a metallization layer formed on the second surface. The metallization layer includes external data contact pads each arranged in vertical alignment with a respective contact pad on the second surface. Each row of contact pads may be grouped, and the external contact pads within a group are electrically coupled to an adjacent contact pad on the second surface by effectively logically shifting them to the right one contact pad.

    摘要: The present invention, generally speaking, provides a system and method of decoupling the address and data buses of a system bus using side band information signals. A computer system with which the invention may be used has a system bus including an address bus and a data bus and has, operatively connected to said system bus, multiple master devices, including a microprocessor, and multiple slave devices. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the address bus and the data bus are decoupled by providing, in addition to signals carried by the system bus, first side-band signals including, for each master device besides the microprocessor, an address arbitration signal, and providing, in addition to signals carried by the system bus, second side-band signals including, for each slave device, an address termination signal, a data arbitration signal, and a read-ready signal indicating that a respective slave device has data to present on the system bus. An address arbitration vector is formed, composed of address arbitration signals for the master devices, an address termination vector is formed, composed of address termination signals for the slave devices, and a read-ready vector is formed, composed of read-ready signals for the slave devices. The address arbitration vector and the address termination vector are sampled. Using a queue structure having a front and a rear, pairs of address arbitration and address termination vectors sampled at different sampling times are queued. Given a pair of address arbitration and address termination vectors at the head of the queue structure and a subsequent, corresponding read-ready vector, a data arbitration signal is issued to one of the slave devices and one of the master devices, as a "paired data bus grant."
