  • Tunable architecture for device adapter
    Patent number: 6292764
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing an electronic circuit which allows a device to be connected to a bus, such as a system bus in a computer. The invention accepts user specified parameters for configuring a device adapter which interfaces the device to the bus, and thereafter generates a customized device adapter based on such user specified parameters. By using a common design macro, which is programmable, a user can easily specify and generate custom device adapters for a plurality of dissimilar devices to be connected to the bus. A resulting adapter architecture allows for multiple, dissimilar devices to interface to a computer bus with a single device adapter integrated circuit or card.
