Resuming from a sleep state. A request may received to resume operation of a computer system from a sleep state to an executing state. A restoring process may be initiated to restore the computer system to an executing state. The restoring process may include loading information from a nonvolatile memory medium to a computer system memory medium. A request may be received from a processor of the computer system to access the computer system memory medium. The request may require access to a portion of the computer system memory medium in the executing state, and may be received prior to completion of the restoring process. It may be determined if the portion of the computer system memory medium has been restored. If the portion of the computer system memory medium has not been restored, the portion of the computer system memory medium may be restored from the nonvolatile memory medium ahead of other portions in the restoring process.

Power management of a system. A request may be received to enter a first sleep state for a system. One or more processes may be performed to enter the first sleep state in response to the request to enter the first sleep state. A system memory of the system may be stored in a nonvolatile memory (NVM) in response to the request to enter the first sleep state in order to enter a second sleep state. Power may be removed from the system memory after storing the system memory in the NVM in response to the request to enter the first sleep state. After removing power to the system memory, the system may be in the second sleep state.

An optical transceiver module adapted to a link device includes a connection unit, a driving unit and optical transmitting and receiving units. The connection unit, to be coupled with the link device, includes an indicating element for generating an indicating signal when the connection unit is coupled with the link device. The driving unit, coupled with the connection unit, receives the indicating signal and outputs a control signal according to the indicating signal. The optical transmitting unit, coupled with the driving unit, receives the control signal for driving the optical transmitting unit to output a first optical signal. The optical receiving unit, coupled with the driving unit, transmits a received second optical signal to the driving unit. An optical transmission device using the optical transceiver module, and an optical transmission method are also disclosed. A link training sequence can be initiated after the connection unit is actually coupled with the link device. Thus, a host cannot enter a disable mode due to error connection.

The present invention is directed to a universal serial bus (USB) transaction translator and an associated IN/OUT bulk transaction method. A device interface is coupled to a device via a device bus, and a host interface is coupled to a host via a host bus, wherein the host USB version is higher than the device USB version. At least two buffers configured to store data are disposed between the device interface and the host interface. A controller stores the data in the buffers alternately. In a bulk-IN transaction, before the host sends an IN packet, the controller pre-fetches data and stores the data in the buffers until all the buffers are full or a requested data length has been achieved; the pre-fetched data are then sent to the host after the host sends the IN packet. In a bulk-OUT transaction, the controller stores the data sent from the host in the buffers, and the data are then post-written to the device.

An apparatus configured to couple to a universal serial bus (USB) 3.0 connector. The apparatus includes a management controller configured to couple to the USB 3.0 connector. The management controller is configured to detect from behavior on the D+ and D− pins of the USB 3.0 connector whether a device plugged into the USB 3.0 connector is a conventional USB 3.0 device or an optical USB device.

A data transmission system is provided. The data transmission system includes a first control circuit coupled to a first device, a translation circuit coupled to the first control circuit and a second control circuit coupled to the translation circuit. The first control circuit decodes a first format data packet sent by the first device. The translation circuit receives the decoded first format data packet and translates the decoded first format data packet into a second format data packet. The second control circuit transmits the second format data packet to a host. A data transmission rate of the first device is slower than that of a second device, and the data transmission system is backward compatible to the first device.

A Northbridge providing RAID access is coupled among a central processing unit, a system memory, and a Southbridge. Furthermore, the Northbridge further couples to a RAID through a Southbridge. The Northbridge include a RAID accelerator for performing RAID operations according to RAID control commands which are stored in a register.

A voltage monitoring circuit is capable of being integrated into a chip and monitoring the voltage quality. It mainly uses a first waveshaper to receive a voltage signal of a voltage source to be measured, process it to a logic signal, and output to a first logic level transformer. A first digital signal is transformed by the processing and can be recorded by a register such that a managing system can read content of the register through a bus to further determine whether the voltage source has a situation of voltage surge. Similarly, an inverter can be concatenated between a second waveshaper and a second logic level transformer to monitor whether the voltage source has undercurrent pulse. This way, an object of monitoring voltage quality in the chip with a combination of simple analog circuit can be achieved.

A method and an apparatus for testing a bridge circuit. The method includes inputting a first test clock to a first conversion unit for triggering the first conversion unit to transfer a test data to a second conversion unit according to rising edges of the first test clock, inputting a second test clock to the second conversion unit for triggering the second conversion unit to output an output data according to falling edges of the second test clock, and controlling the first test clock and the second test clock so that the rising edges of the second test clock are not synchronized to the rising edges of the first test clock. A frequency of the first test clock is an even multiple of a frequency of the second test clock.
