20090055569 | Bridge device with page-access based processor interface - An integrated circuit bridge device can include a first interface circuit coupled to a buffer circuit and configurable in response to configuration information to receive command information, address information, and data values on a same multi-bit input/output (I/O) bus. A second interface circuit can be coupled to the buffer circuit and configured to communicate according to a first communication protocol different from that executable by the first interface circuit. In addition, a controller circuit formed in the same substrate as the first and second interface circuits can be configured to enable data transfers between the third interface circuit and the first interface circuits via the buffer circuit. | 02-26-2009 |
