  • Adjustable empty threshold limit for a first-in-first-out (FIFO) circuit
    Patent number: 10168989
    Abstract: In one embodiment, transceiver circuitry includes a first-in-first-out (FIFO) circuit and a control logic circuit. The FIFO circuit receives data signals based on a first clock frequency and outputs stored data signals based on a second clock frequency. The stored data signals are transmitted out of the FIFO circuit only in response to a difference between a value of a write pointer of the FIFO circuit and a value of a read pointer of the FIFO circuit exceeding an empty threshold limit of the FIFO circuit. The control logic circuit may be utilized to adjust the empty threshold limit of the FIFO circuit.

  • PCI-express to PCI/PCI X translator
    Patent number: 7313643
    Abstract: An apparatus for converting a PCI/PCI X device into a PCI-Express device. The apparatus may include a first circuit configured to receive first data, wherein the first circuit is configured to translate the first data into PCI formatted data. The apparatus may also include a PCI data bus and a second circuit coupled to the first circuit via the PCI data bus. The second circuit is configured to receive the PCI formatted data from the first circuit via the PCI data bus. The second circuit is configured to translate the PCI formatted data received from the first circuit into PCI-Express formatted data. However, the PCI data bus transmits data between only the first and second circuits.
