  • Patent number: 7356632
    Abstract: The present invention provides a data memory controller that supports for the invert of data bus. Data transmitted from a memory is received in a chip set, which further transmits the data to a data processing apparatus. While receiving the memory data, the chip set doubles the bandwidth and reduces the frequency, such that the time margin for processing data is increased. In addition, after outputting data to the data processing apparatus, a first frame of data is compared to bus idle state to further reduce frequency of data invert and power consumption.

  • Patent number: 7325125
    Abstract: A method and computer system for accessing initialization data stored in a boot memory space. After the power supply starts up, the south bridge starts up and sends an initiating signal to the north bridge for starting up the north bridge. Once the north bridge has started up, it sends the south bridge a transaction which requests that the south bridge reads the initialization data from the memory space and sends the initialization data to the south bridge. Then, the CPU starts up and operates normally after the CPU receives an initiating signal and the initialization data sent by the north bridge.

  • Publication number: 20050289304
    Abstract: A control chip for controlling and accessing an external memory module. The control chip comprises a terminal module and a decision unit. The terminal module is coupled to the external memory module through a memory bus for selectively matching the impedance of the memory bus. The decision unit is coupled to the terminal module and determines whether to turn on the terminal module according to a terminal signal, a dynamic select signal, and a read signal.

  • Patent number: 6691224
    Abstract: A method and computer system for accessing initialization data stored in a boot ROM's memory space which is not used by a BIOS contained in the boot ROM. After the power supply starts up, the south bridge starts up and sends an initiating signal to the north bridge for starting up the north bridge. Once the north bridge has started up, it sends the south bridge a transaction which requests that the south bridge reads the initialization data from the boot ROM and sends the initialization data to the south bridge. Then, the CPU starts up and operates normally after the CPU receives an initiating signal and the initialization data sent by the north bridge.
