摘要:
An integrated data storage control system provides, in a single integrated circuit, RDC, servo logic, ATA interface, microprocessor, and other formerly discrete components in one highly integrated system design. The integrated circuit is rendered using a single integrated circuit technology type (e.g., digital CMOS) for all components. Analog and digital circuits are combined in such a way as to eliminate or reduce noise or interference in digital circuits from analog circuit components. Individual elements may have their outputs and inputs MUXed together such that individual elements can be selectively switched (during testing modes) such that the integrated circuit emulates or behaves in the same or similar manner as one of the prior art components. The present invention may be applied to magnetic hard disk drives (HDDs) or other types of storage devices such as floppy disk controllers, optical disk drives (e.g., CD-ROMs and the like), tape drives, and other data storage devices.

An integrated HDD system provides, in a single integrated circuit, RDC, servo logic, ATA interface, microprocessor, and other formerly discrete components in one highly integrated system design. The integrated circuit is rendered using a single integrated circuit technology type (e.g. digital CMOS) for all components. Analog and digital circuits are combined in such a way as to eliminate or reduce noise or interference in digital circuits from analog circuit components. The invention takes advantage of existing circuit design modules provided in the integrated circuit as “hard block” components which are unchanged by integrated circuit design software. Changes in operability of the overall integrated circuit may be readily achieved by altering “soft block” components to customize or tailor the design for a particular hard drive. Individual elements may have their outputs and inputs MUXed together such that individual elements can be selectively switched (during testing modes) such that the integrated circuit emulates or behaves in the same or similar manner as one of the prior art components.

摘要:
An embodiment of the present invention includes a switch employed in a system having two hosts and a device and for coupling two or more host ports to a device. The switch includes a power signal control circuit generating a power signal for use by the device in receiving power for operability thereto, the power signal control circuit responsive to detection of inoperability of the device and in response thereto, toggling the power signal to the device while avoiding interruption to the system.
摘要:
A switch is coupled between a plurality of host units and a device for communicating therebetween. Included is a first serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) port, a second SATA port, and a third SATA port. The first SATA port includes a first host task file coupled to a first host unit, and the first host task file is responsive to commands sent by the first host unit to the device. The second SATA port includes a second host task file coupled to a second host unit, and the second host task file is responsive to commands sent by the second host unit to the device. An arbitration control circuit is coupled to the SATA ports, and selects from the first and second hosts to concurrently access the device, through the switch, accepting commands from either host units at any time, including when the device is not idle.
