    摘要: A computer includes a mother board having a clock A thereon that provides a primary clock to a clock distribution buffer that distributes the clock that drives it to clock electronic components on the mother board. The mother board has a socket for receiving an optional module having a clock B thereon. A clock switching circuit is connected to the clock A and to the clock B socket terminus. An edge detector connected to clock B detects an edge of the clock B. A detection window indicator is asserted upon a predetermined condition, such as that power is on and stable. A control circuit, connected to the clock switching circuit, to the edge detector and to the detection window indicator causes the secondary clock to be selected and substituted for the primary clock.

    摘要: An intelligent bus bridge contained in a single integrated circuit chip along with computer systems and server systems that employ intelligent input/output subsystems. The intelligent bus bridge includes a local processor coupled for communication over a local component bus, a local memory controller that enables access to a local memory from the local component bus, and a component bus bridge that propagates accesses between the local component bus and a system component bus. The single integrated circuit chip enables dual-porting of the local memory controller without significant increases in input/output pins. A mode control input to the intelligent bus bridge indicates whether the intelligent bus bridge functions in a local master mode or a host master mode in a computer or server system.

    摘要: Apparatus and a method for eliminating deadlock in a multibus computer system which system includes a primary bus, and a secondary bus, a bridge circuit for joining the primary bus to a bus master, and a second bridge circuit for joining the primary bus to the secondary bus. The invention causes the second bridge circuit to generate a first signal directed to the all bridge circuits to indicate that a bus master on the secondary bus desires access to the secondary bus. All bridge circuits holding data directed to a component on the secondary bus flushes all temporary storage means holding data directed to a component on the secondary bus. The bridge circuits then generate signals to indicate that flushing is complete and the bus master on the secondary bus is granted access to the secondary bus. In one embodiment, the second bridge tests to determine whether the bus master requesting access requires a guaranteed access time and generates a signal to flush temporary storage in the first bridge between memory and the bridge.

    摘要: A computer system having an integrated bus bridge and memory controller circuit and method for enabling access to a shared memory with high bandwidth data streaming are disclosed. The integrated bus bridge and memory controller circuit performs a series of snoop ahead transactions over a first bus during access transactions to the shared memory that originate over a second bus and thereby enables high bandwidth data streaming on the second bus. The integrated bus bridge and memory controller circuit includes a peripheral write buffer that buffers write data received over the second bus and that stores a snoop done flag for the write data that indicates whether a corresponding snoop ahead transaction for the write data is complete. The integrated bus bridge and memory controller circuit further includes a peripheral read prefetch buffer that prefetches read data during read transactions over the second bus only after a corresponding snoop ahead transaction for the read data is complete.

    摘要: An improved full tension connector for electrical conductors has a substantially cylindrical outer surface and a stepped series of substantially cylindrical inner surfaces with progressively smaller inside diameters. The design of the connector allows for improved control of the compression of the cable inside the fitting. A series of swages, progressing successively from a light compression to a heavier compression, ensures that the connector will sustain the required tensile load.

    摘要: The present invention utilizes station preset buttons on a radio frequency receiver to allow the user to browse through the various subchannels included in a single station or channel. The preset buttons still have the standard function of having a frequency and subchannel selection parameter associated with the button that can be used to directly select that subchannel. But subsequent presses of the button may change the currently playing program to a different program contained in the same station or channel using a circular queue ordering.

    摘要: A speaker system that detects what type of audio signal is supplied to it and automatically adjusts to reproduce sound from either an analog audio input signal or a digital audio input signal. The speaker system has one or more converters to convert each form of digital audio into analog audio, a detection means to detect whether an analog audio input signal or one of the possible digital audio signals is present and a multiplexer to switch between either the analog audio input signal or one of the outputs of the digital audio converters. Amplifier and speaker drivers are shown for completeness.
