Patent number: 7370130Abstract: A core logic device of a computer system includes a programmable interrupt controller (PIC), an input/output advanced programmable interrupt controller (I/O APIC) and a virtual wire unit. The PIC outputs a control signal to the virtual wire unit via an interrupt pin in response to an external interrupt signal asserted by a peripheral device before an operating system is loaded in the computer system. The virtual wire unit outputs an interrupt control packet to the CPU in response to the control signal wherein the interrupt vector contents carried by the interrupt control packet are ignored by the CPU. After the operating system is loaded in the computer system, the I/O APIC outputs another interrupt control packet to the CPU in response to the external interrupt signal.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2006Date of Patent: May 6, 2008Assignee: Via Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ming-Wei Hsu, Wayne Huang

Patent number: 7216245Abstract: A computer system with power management and the method thereof. First, the CPU outputs a power management signal to the south bridge. The south bridge responds with a stop clock signal, and then the CPU responds with a stop grant message. The north bridge receives and analyzes the stop grant message to identify a power supply mode. If the power supply mode is to suspend the main power supplied from the power supply, the north bridge outputs a state transition signal to the peripheral, which then responds with an acknowledge signal. The north bridge passes the stop grant message to the south bridge after receiving the acknowledge signal. The south bridge receives the stop grant message and outputs a power control signal accordingly. The power supply receives the power control signal for suspending the corresponding power accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2004Date of Patent: May 8, 2007Assignee: VIA Technologies Inc.Inventors: Ming-Wei Hsu, Kuan-Jui Ho
