Title: Thomas Chan and the Versatile Peripheral Bus.
Introduction
Thomas Chan is an inventor associated with Santa Clara, California, and Sun Microsystems, Inc. His work includes a patent for an adaptable computer system bus designed to support different data-transfer methods.
Latest Patents
Chan’s listed patent is “Versatile Peripheral Bus.” It describes a bus that can switch between addressed and handshake data transfers, as well as between synchronous and asynchronous transfers, while a sequence is underway. The design also supports burst transfers with dynamic data sizing, allowing a bus master to accommodate a slave device’s data-width limitations without prematurely ending the transfer sequence. These functions are achieved by changing how bus signal lines and acknowledge signals operate according to the transfer type.
Career Highlights
Chan’s listed patent record includes 1 patent. The invention reflects an effort to make computer bus communication more flexible by enabling transfer modes and data widths to adapt during operation.
Collaborations
The provided information identifies Martin Sodos as Chan’s coworker. It does not specify their roles or describe a particular collaboration.
Conclusion
Thomas Chan’s “Versatile Peripheral Bus” patent presents a flexible approach to computer data transfers, combining adaptable transfer modes, burst operation, and dynamic data sizing.
