Abstract: Circuitry and methods related to switching power are provided. One of a plurality of current-limited power distribution switches is enabled in accordance with a hierarchical scheme depending upon the respective states of plural power sources. The power source having the greatest available load carrying capacity is thus coupled to a power node for provision to load entities. Servers, computing devices, printers, and other apparatus can include such selective power provisioning.

Abstract: Techniques for configuration are provided. A chassis ID identifies a chassis type. A device, such as a circuit board, may receive the chassis ID from the chassis. The device may be configured based on the chassis type.

Abstract: A voltage regulation steering circuit reads a voltage input code from a device and detects a set of predetermined conditions for gradually counting an output voltage code. Depending upon the set of predetermined conditions, the steering circuit either gradually counts the output voltage code from a predetermined initial voltage code to the voltage input code or gradually counts the output voltage code from the voltage input code to a predetermined low voltage code. As the steering circuit gradually counts from the predetermined initial voltage code, the steering circuit compares the output voltage code to voltage input code until the output voltage code matches the voltage input code. As the steering circuit gradually counts from the voltage input code, the steering circuit compares the output voltage code to the predetermined low voltage code until the voltage output code matches the predetermined low voltage code. The output voltage code is provided from the steering circuit to a voltage controller.

Abstract: A personal computer provides security features enabling control over access to data retained in the computer. The computer is secured by having the system ROM provide a password at power-on to a security device which controls access to the secured features. Once a password has been downloaded to the security device, a Protect Resources command is issued to the security device. To gain access to the secured feature after boot-up, the user provides the correct password to the security device and waits for approval from the security device. Since the security device only verifies the password and does not divulge it, security of the system is enhanced. Once access to protected resources is no longer required, the computer issues another Protect Resources command to the security device to once more lock access to the protected resources.

Abstract: A computer system provides a self-modifying synchronization memory address space and protocol for communication between multiple busmasters. In one computer system embodiment, the self-modifying synchronization memory address space is provided in a memory controller embedded in a peripheral device of the computer system such as a bridge that provides central, high speed access by a busmaster to the memory controller without accessing a host bus. The synchronization memory address space includes a set of semaphore memory cells mapped to shared critical resources in the computer system. The semaphore memory cell allows for exclusive access by a busmaster to a shared critical resource by switching itself from an idle state to a busy state responsive to a first read operation by a busmaster. In the busy state of the semaphore memory cell, a busy state is communicated to other busmasters which attempt to read the semaphore memory cell.
