  • Patent number: 7685343
    Abstract: A data access method for serial bus is provided. During a write/read cycle, the write/read cycle is divided into a plurality of transmitting intervals and a plurality of suspending intervals. In each of the transmitting intervals, a clock signal is transmitted on a clock pin and a data signal is transmitted on a data pin. In each of the suspending intervals, the clock signal stop being transmitted on the clock pin. In other words, the present invention uses an interrupted clock signal, such that an embedded controller can directly write a received data in a flash memory or directly output the data read from the flash memory, so as to avoid using a plurality of registers. Therefore, the present invention can decrease the cost of the embedded controller and reduce the area of the integrated circuit.

  • Publication number: 20090070516
    Abstract: An integrated memory control apparatus including a first interface decoder, a second interface decoder and an interface controller is provided. Wherein, the first interface decoder is coupled to a control chip through a first serial peripheral interface (SPI), the second interface decoder is coupled to a micro-processor unit through a general transmission interface, and the interface controller is coupled to a memory through a second SPI. When the interface controller receives the request signals from the control chip and the micro-processor unit, the control chip may correctly read data from the memory through the first and second SPI. On the other hand, the micro-processor unit may stop reading data from the memory through the general transmission interface. Therefore, the control chip and the micro-processor unit may share the same memory.

  • Patent number: 7494951
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of catalysts used for producing para-xylene by toluene shape selective alkylation. The invention is primarily used for solving the problems in the old technology, e.g., high requirements on the environment and great treatment of waste water containing organic amines when synthesizing ZSM-5 molecular sieves by using an organic amine as the template agent; small and non-homogeneous particles of the molecular sieves when synthesizing ZSM-5 molecular sieves by using an alcohol or ether as the template agent, such that the catalyst prepared thereby has low catalytic selectivity and low toluene conversion rate, etc. Said problems are better solved in the present invention by synthesizing ZSM-5 molecular sieves using the combination of organic amines and alcohols or ethers as the template agents (having a weight ratio of organic amines/alcohols=0.05-150, and organic amines/ethers=0.05-150), and modifying with organosilicon so as to obtain the catalysts.

Therefore, the present invention can decrease the cost of the embedded controller and reduce the area of integrated circuit.

  • Publication number: 20080122659
    Abstract: An embedded controller includes a keyboard interface, a keyboard signal conversion unit, a flash memory control unit, and a selection unit. When the selection unit couples the flash memory control unit to the keyboard interface according to an indication signal, a remote controller is coupled to the keyboard interface so as to input an input signal to the embedded controller through the keyboard interface. And the flash memory control unit decodes the input signal and writes it into a flash memory to change a data stored in the flash memory.

  • Publication number: 20080109646
    Abstract: A data processing apparatus for loop structure is provided. The apparatus includes a fast memory device and a loop detector. The loop detector is coupled to a processor to detect whether the processor performs a loop structure or not. When the processor performs the loop structure, the loop detector outputs a control signal. According to the control signal, the apparatus stores a loop structure data corresponding to the loop structure in the fast memory device for the processor to perform the loop structure.
