A method and apparatus for transporting multiple low-speed data streams across a high-speed communication channel or link. In one embodiment of the method, first and second data streams are transmitted at first and second data transmission rates, respectively, via an optical cable, wherein the first and second data transmission rates are distinct. Components of the first data stream are transmitted via the optical cable between transmission of components of the second data stream via the optical cable, and components of the second data stream are transmitted via the optical cable between transmission of components of the first data stream via the optical cable.

Transporting multiple low-speed data streams across a high-speed communication link

An apparatus for converting a PCI/PCI X device into a PCI-Express device. The apparatus may include a first circuit configured to receive first data, wherein the first circuit is configured to translate the first data into PCI formatted data. The apparatus may also include a PCI data bus and a second circuit coupled to the first circuit via the PCI data bus. The second circuit is configured to receive the PCI formatted data from the first circuit via the PCI data bus. The second circuit is configured to translate the PCI formatted data received from the first circuit into PCI-Express formatted data. However, the PCI data bus transmits data between only the first and second circuits.

PCI-express to PCI/PCI X translator

Disclosed is an apparatus and method for flexible controlling endpoint memory within an USB device. In one embodiment, the method includes a USB device receiving a first token packet from a USB host, wherein the first token packet includes a first endpoint number. The first endpoint number is stored into a first tag in memory corresponding to a first data buffer in the USB device. The USB device then receives a data packet from the USB host, wherein the data packet comprises endpoint data. The; endpoint data of the data packet is stored into the first data buffer.
