Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
95 words
A multichip date processing system comprising: processor means on a first chip for sequentially producing or receiving address, command and data signals, memory means on a second chip coupled to said processor means, said memory means including a program counter means coupled to a read-only or read-write memory for selectively outputting data to said processor and a plurality of conductors electrically interconnecting said processor on said first chip with said memory means on said second chip, at least some of said conductors being common for transmitting or receiving said address, command and data signals sequentially.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
95 words
A multichip date processing system comprising: processor means on a first chip for sequentially producing or receiving address, command and data signals, memory means on a second chip coupled to said processor means, said memory means including a program counter means coupled to a read-only or read-write memory for selectively outputting data to said processor and a plurality of conductors electrically interconnecting said processor on said first chip with said memory means on said second chip, at least some of said conductors being common for transmitting or receiving said address, command and data signals sequentially.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
A multichip data processing system according to claim 1 wherein each of said read-only and read write memories are in separate modules which may be inserted into said data processing system.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
A multichip data processing system according to claim 2 wherein the read-write memory module includes a separate power source for retaining the information in said read-write memory when said read-write memory module is removed from said data processing system.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
144 words
A plug-in memory module for use in a data processing system having a keyboard for providing input signals, a processor coupled to said input signals for sequentially producing or receiving address, command and data signals, and receptacle means including contacts for temporarily receiving the memory module and for coupling the memory module to the processor, said memory module comprising: a memory module housing having module contacts connectable to the contacts of said receptable means; a read-write memory disposed within said memory module for storing information at predetermined locations and selectively outputting said information; program counter means coupled to said read-write memory and said processor for addressing predetermined locations in said read-write memory, and a plurality of conductors in said module coupled to said module contact, at least some of said conductors being common for transmitting or receiving said address, command and data signals sequentially.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
144 words
A plug-in memory module for use in a data processing system having a keyboard for providing input signals, a processor coupled to said input signals for sequentially producing or receiving address, command and data signals, and receptacle means including contacts for temporarily receiving the memory module and for coupling the memory module to the processor, said memory module comprising: a memory module housing having module contacts connectable to the contacts of said receptable means; a read-write memory disposed within said memory module for storing information at predetermined locations and selectively outputting said information; program counter means coupled to said read-write memory and said processor for addressing predetermined locations in said read-write memory, and a plurality of conductors in said module coupled to said module contact, at least some of said conductors being common for transmitting or receiving said address, command and data signals sequentially.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
A plug-in module according to claim 4 further including a power source in said module coupled to said read-write memory.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
33 words
A plug-in module according to claim 5 wherein said power source is a battery such that the information in said read-write memory is retained when said module is removed from said receptacle means.
