    摘要: A device for use in a computer system, particularly a personal computer (PC) which provides compatibility for a proposed ISA plug and play (PNP) standard. The device of the present invention is also backward compatible with non-PNP (legacy) PCs. Upon power-up, a device may initialize using default traditional or specification (ISA) values for I/O address, IRQ and DMA channels. If PNP activity by the host PC is detected by the device, the device is disabled, and awaits activation and I/O address, IRQ and DMA channel assignments from a host PC. If no PNP activity by a host PC is detected, the device continues to operate using default traditional or specification (ISA) I/O address, IRQ and DMA channels. The device of the present invention may be installed in PNP or legacy type PCs without reconfiguring hardware (e.g., DIP switches, jumpers or the like) in the device or installing new firmware, operating system, or applications software in a host PC.

    摘要: A computer system including one or more PCMCIA expansion slots allows video and/or audio capabilities to be added to the system through a standard PCMCIA interface, utilizing multimedia type PCMCIA peripheral cards. A PCMCIA host adapter integrated circuit interrogates a PCMCIA peripheral card to determine whether or not the PCMCIA peripheral card is a multimedia type PCMCIA peripheral including video or audio capability. If the PCMCIA peripheral card is a multimedia type peripheral, the PCMCIA host adapter integrated circuit couples the PCMCIA peripheral card directly to the graphics and sound controller integrated circuits, using the standard PCMCIA interface and bypassing the host system bus. Otherwise, if the PCMCIA peripheral card is a standard PCMCIA peripheral, then the PCMCIA host adapter integrated circuit interfaces communications between the PCMCIA peripheral card and the host system bus in a conventional manner. The computer system includes a multi-windowing or display function whereby a typical computer applications program may be operating and displayed in a first window or display while the system simultaneously displays a playback or live video signal from a multimedia type peripheral card in a second window or display.

    摘要: A low power clocking apparatus and method is used to reduce power consumption by an electronic system or an integrated circuit that is coupled to an external system via a system bus which is configured to selectively transmit or receive signals from the electronic system or integrated circuit. The electronic system or integrated circuit includes a plurality of sub-circuits. Each sub-circuit is configured to operate under control of a clock signal and further includes an apparatus for keeping or rejecting the clock signal. Once each sub-circuit within the electronic system or integrated circuit rejects the clock signal, an integral arbiter circuit disables the clock signal to all the sub-circuits. The arbiter circuit continuously monitors the system bus. Upon detecting that the sub-circuits will require the clock signal, the arbiter will re-enable the clock signal to all of the sub-circuits.

    摘要: The design and implementation of a low power CMOS bi-directional I/O buffer that translates low voltage core logic level signals into the highest logic level signals to drive the final output stage which outputs a selectable logic level signal. The buffer further translates input signals of a variety of logic levels into low voltage core logic level signals. In either case, AC and DC power consumption is minimized in a mixed power supply environment that requires voltage translation to represent the proper binary logic levels. An multivoltage I/O buffer having multiple input-receiving NOR gates is also described. The NOR gates of the multivoltage I/O buffer having triggering levels optimized for differing core voltage levels. Also described is a host adapted system for interfacing between and removable peripheral card and a host computer. The host adaptor includes an integrated circuit employing the multivoltage bi-directional I/O buffer.
