Latest Patents
Fakhruddin's latest patents include a "Hardware based interface for mode switching to access memory above one." This invention substitutes a relatively fast system control processor, such as an Intel 8051, for an Intel 8042 microprocessor in a PC/AT type compatible personal computer. The invention features a System Control Processor Interface (SCPI) that maintains compatibility with the PC/AT bus, thereby improving overall system performance. Additionally, control circuitry is provided for quickly setting the A20 signal to allow memory access above one megabyte. An alternate embodiment includes a Mouse Keyboard Interface (MKI) that facilitates quicker switching of the Gate A20 signal, enhancing efficiency by eliminating the need to interrupt the SCP.
Another significant patent is for a "Personal computer having dedicated processors for peripheral devices." This invention utilizes a network of processors to communicate with peripheral devices and the system control processor. By dedicating one processor to at least one peripheral device, the system control processor is freed from the slow communications protocol, allowing it to perform other tasks and improve overall system performance. The communication protocol between dedicated processors enables both local and global communication.
