A dual mode smart card controller is provided. In one embodiment, a USB and ISO7816 smart card controller is provided that determines the type of card that is inserted into a slot. If the smart card is a USB smart card, the controller is adapted to pass control of the smart card to an external PC host USB hub circuit. If the smart card is an ISO7816 card, then control is handled by the dual mode controller. In another embodiment, the controller includes an embedded USB hub circuit to permit the controller to directly control both USB and ISO7816 smart cards. Exemplary control sequencing includes monitoring a C4 signal line for a preselected time period, or generating an enable signal if a USB smart card is detected.

The present invention provides a low-cost, highly flexible display system which comprises a programmable CPU, a LCD module for displaying visual information, an array of light emitters for providing backlighting to the LCD module, an array of light emitter driver circuits, and an array controller. The programmable CPU accesses ROM and RAM memory and comprises at least one input/output protocol for communicating with components on the display system. A single light driver circuit controls the intensity of a set of light emitters. The array controller connects to a number of light emitter driver circuits and acts as a central point of communication between the CPU and the array of light emitter driver circuits and color sensors.

The present invention provides an enhanced controller. The enhanced controller comprises a USB (Universal Serial Bus) based CCID (Chip Card Interface Device) controller which is integrated with a PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) or PCI Express based exchangeable media card controller. The two controllers are coupled by a shared terminal to share functions of both the USB based CCID controller and the PCI based exchangeable media card controller, thus provides benefits over the discrete controllers.

There is provided an electronic system including an image capturing device and a comparator coupled to the image capturing device. The image capturing device is operable for capturing a live image. The comparator generates a feedback signal by comparing the live image with a reference image and adjusts at least one setting of the image capturing device by the feedback signal.

Systems are provided for the offloading of protocol control and conversion information within microprocessor-based systems. A converter controller comprises a first interface and protocol, as well as a second interface and protocol. An intermediate protocol and interface is interconnected to both the first protocol and the second protocol, and forwards or offloads protocol information to the system CPU, which comprises device driver information for protocol conversion and/or control. The CPU acts upon the received protocol information, performs protocol conversion as necessary, and forwards the converted protocol information back to the converter controller through the intermediate interface. Some embodiments of the offloading protocol conversion system comprise a SDIO controller within a USB-based device.

An enhanced power switch device is provided for enabling modular USB PC cards. The enhanced power switch may include a card sense circuit for sensing the type of card present, a card power switching circuit for supplying power to a modular USB card, and isolation circuit for isolating conventional PC Card control signals from the modular USB card and a connection circuit for connecting USB signals to the USB Card. The system of the present invention can modified for other bus technologies, in addition to USB bus devices.
摘要:
A method according to one embodiment includes receiving at least one ExpressCard module power management signal and controlling the passing of at least one ExpressCard power management signal to a host computer system, based on, at least in part, at least one signal indicative of a power state of the host computer system. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.

A method according to one embodiment may include decoupling a CAUDIO/SPKR#/BVD2 signal line from a PC Card controller integrated circuit. The method of this embodiment may also include controlling, by the PC Card controller integrated circuit, at least one PC Card independently of the CAUDIO/SPKR#/BVD2 signal line. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.
