Patent number: 7082385Abstract: A method for verifying optimization of processor link. First, an initial bus width and an initial bus frequency of a bus coupled between a CPU and a Northbridge are set, such that the bus operates at the initial bus width and the initial bus frequency. Next, a read request for a Southbridge is generated. Next, a bus disconnection signal is output by the Southbridge to disconnect the CPU and the Northbridge when the Southbridge receives the read request. A timer is initialized for calculating an elapsed time value and an optimization verification signal at a first voltage level is generated. Next, a bus connection signal is output by the Southbridge when the elapsed time value reaches a predetermined value. Next, the voltage level of the optimization verification signal is transformed to a second voltage level. Finally, the CPU and the Northbridge are reconnected by the bus according to the bus connection signal, such that the bus operates at another bus operating bus width and another bus operating frequency.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2004Date of Patent: July 25, 2006Assignee: Via Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ming-Wei Hsu, Sheng-Chang Peng

Patent number: 7079573Abstract: A serial data communication machine includes a counter for counting a reference clock and a shift register for receiving incoming and outgoing data. Every time the counter counts the reference clock certain times, which is equal to a first integer determined in accordance with a ratio of a reference clock frequency to a transfer rate, the data stored in the shift register are shifted such that the data are transmitted and received at a rate substantially equal to the transfer rate. The communication machine also includes a clock correction unit. Every time the reference clock is generated certain times, which is equal to a second integer determined in accordance with a difference between the above mentioned ratio and the first integer, the clock correction unit temporarily hinders passage of the reference clock to the counter. Even if one bit time is not a multiple of the reference clock, the communication machine can transfer the data at high speed without increasing the reference clock frequency.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2002Date of Patent: July 18, 2006Assignee: Oki Electric Industry Co., LTDInventor: Yoshihiro Shona
