An integrated circuit also referred to as an integrated computing system has a single substrate that has either deposited thereon or etched thereon, a central processing unit, a north bridge, a south bridge, and a graphics controller. An internal bus is coupled between the north bridge and the central processing unit. The central processing unit and north bridge do not require interfaces to perform bus protocol conversions.

Computing system having CPU and bridge operating using CPU frequency

A method of integrating a personal computing system and apparatus thereof include processing that begins by integrating a central processing unit with a North bridge on a single substrate such that the central processing unit is directly coupled to the North bridge via an internal bus. The processing then continues by providing memory access requests from the central processing unit to the North bridge at a rate of the central processing unit. The processing continues by having the North bridge buffer the memory access request and subsequently process the memory access requests at a rate of the memory. The method may be expanded by integrating a South bridge onto the same substrate as well as integrating system memory onto the same substrate.

Method of integrating a personal computing system and apparatus thereof

A configurable bus interface circuit includes an internal bus bridge and an internal circuit. The configurable bus interface circuit also includes an internal I/O circuit couplable to an external circuit, via the internal bus bridge. The configurable bus interface circuit electrically isolates the internal circuit to avoid the propagation of signals between the internal I/O circuit and the external circuit.
