Appl. No.:

10/995696

Inventors:

Alison A. Przybysz - Columbia MD, US
Daniel S. Cohen - Baltimore MD, US

Assignee:

Atmel Corporation - San Jose CA

International Classification:

G06F 13/40
G06F 13/38
G06F 13/20

US Classification:

710307, 710 66

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for interfacing a host system having a system data bus, clock signals, and control signals to a parallel data bus is described. Setting configuration bits allows the interface apparatus to be programmed to operate as a transmitter or a receiver with selectable device interface modes. When operating as a transmitter, the interface apparatus combines and compresses the system data bus, clocks, and control signals to match the available width of the parallel data bus. When operating as a receiver, the interface receives signals from the parallel data bus and restores the original signals which were combined and compressed. The device interface modes are selectable to be compatible in different device and circuit configurations.

Appl. No.:

10/972990

Inventors:

Mikhail Itskovich - Columbia MD, US
Daniel S. Cohen - Baltimore MD, US

Assignee:

Atmel Corporation - San Jose CA

International Classification:

H03C 3/00
H04L 27/12

US Classification:

375302, 375271, 375285, 341120

Abstract:

A system and method for controlling modulation. The system includes a plurality of modulators and a transmitting unit. The plurality of modulators decodes data from a data signal and also encodes the data into a clock signal. The transmitting unit transmits the encoded clock signal. According to the system and method disclosed herein, the present invention provides optimized coding efficiency while minimizing overall power consumption.
