Massoud Taraghi has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • System having switch that provides capacitive load isolation
    Patent number: 5526497
    Abstract: Components of a computer system are coupled using a data path application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) crossbar switch. A plurality of multi-bit bi-directional register ports are intercoupled using multi-bit multiplexer circuitry. Port selection control signals provided to the multiplexer direct the flow of data through the data path ASIC. The data path ASIC electrically isolates the components of the computer system, thereby minimizing the capacitive load on signal lines and permitting signals to transfer at high rates of speed. Control of the data path ASIC is provided by external circuitry to increase the flexibility of the crossbar switch by removing dependency on any particular communications protocol. Multiple data path ASICs may be combined in parallel to increase bandwidth of data flow by using a bit slice scheme.
    Type: Grant
