Patent number: 8667193Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for utilizing a non-ported generic device (NGD) or other non-ported hardware to couple processing device(s) to access components on a serial data bus without the need for integrated manager hardware. Using the NGD, a processing device(s) can utilize available unused bandwidth on the serial data bus to communicate with components coupled with the serial data bus, including a processing device having the manager hardware. Various alterations and embodiments are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2011Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Hans Georg Gruber, Julio Arceo, Magesh Hariharan, Suren Mohan, Mark A.

Patent number: 8621122Abstract: One embodiment of the invention comprises a non-transitory, tangible computer readable storage medium encoded with processor readable instructions to perform a method of transferring SDIO data. One method comprises buffering multiple IP packets to transfer from one of a SDCC host and a SDIO client to the other of the SDCC host and the SDIO client. A multiplexing header is attached to each of the multiple IP packets and one of at least one SDIO read command and at least one SDIO write command issued. The multiple IP packets are then transferred in a single SDIO transfer between the one of a SDCC host and a SDIO client to the other of the SDCC host and the SDIO client.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2011Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc.Inventors: Vaibhav Kumar, Mark A. Landguth, Mohit K. Prasad, Erez Tsidon, Shailesh Maheshwari, Rashmi Char, Robert C. Coleman

Patent number: 7142404Abstract: A domain power notification system detects when a power domain experiences a power condition, such as lost power and low-voltage power, and communicates that information to the domains that communicate with the problem domain. As a result, the effected domains stop communicating with the problem domain without passing erroneous information.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2004Date of Patent: November 28, 2006Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventors: Simon Bikulcius, Mark A. Landguth

Patent number: 7039819Abstract: An apparatus and method is disclosed for initiating a sleep state in a system-on-a-chip (SOC) device. The apparatus comprises a bus controller coupled to a central processing unit (CPU) and a power management controller that is coupled to the bus controller and to a plurality of SOC modules. The power management controller sends control signals to the bus controller and to the SOC modules to coordinate the shutting down of power to the SOC modules during a process in which the power management controller places the SOC modules of the system-on-a-chip (SOC) device into a sleep state.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2003Date of Patent: May 2, 2006Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventors: Steven J. Kommrusch, Mark A. Landguth

Patent number: 5862343Abstract: A network-to-CPU interface circuit interfaces an isochronous physical layer to an ISA bus such that a host CPU connected to the ISA bus can communicate with the isochronous physical layer. Inbound B-channel interface circuity is connectable to receive, from the isochronous physical layer, an inbound data stream which includes a plurality of B-channels time division multiplexed into time division multiplexed (TDM) frames. The TDM frames have a predetermined format that defines at least one logical stream such that each logical stream comprises those B-channels that are time division multiplexed into corresponding predetermined locations within the TDM frames. An inbound buffer portion of a memory is provided to hold the received inbound data stream, and an outbound buffer portion of the memory is provided for holding an outbound data stream which, like the inbound data stream, includes a plurality of B-channels time division multiplexed into time division multiplexed (TDM) frames.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 1997Date of Patent: January 19, 1999Assignee: National Semiconductor CorporationInventors: Mark Landguth, Paul Cheng

Patent number: 5606562Abstract: A first station is connectable to a second station for transmitting a predetermined fixed amount of data to the second station over a predetermined time period to achieve a predetermined fixed data transmission rate. The predetermined time period consists of a plurality of constituent time periods. An amount of substantive data, which is less than the predetermined fixed amount of data, is transmitted from the first station to the second station in the predetermined time period by transmitting the substantive data during a portion of the constituent time periods and transmitting "null" data during the remainder of the constituent time periods. Thus, over the predetermined time period, the substantive data is transmitted at an effective rate that is less than the predetermined fixed data transmission rate.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 1996Date of Patent: February 25, 1997Assignee: National Semiconductor CorporationInventor: Mark Landguth
