  • Logical bus overlay for increasing the existing system bus data rate
    Patent number: 7051229
    Abstract: A system and method for increasing the data rate of a system bus without making modifications to existing (legacy) devices connected to the bus. A logical bus is overlaid onto one or more physical buses in a TDM manner. The overlaying is done by transmitting data into the one or more existing buses during a previously unused phase of the bus clock having no effect on existing devices connected to the buses. The additional devices are capable of latching data on either phase bus clock.
