Common use of Isolation Clause in Contracts

Isolation. Although the RTransceiver is designed to act as a bridge between a Primary and Secondary Channel, there are times where it may be useful to temporarily disconnect the two Channels. The RTransceiver provides an Isolate input in order to facilitate this. The figure illustrates a potential graphics system that contains from buffer memory and a Rambus compatible DAC on the Secondary Channel while the Primary Channel contains system memory. In this example, the Rambus DAC acts as a Secondary Channel master device used to read the frame buffer. While doing this without isolation, the DAC would consume bandwidth on both the Primary and Secondary Channels. If the Isolate input is asserted while the DAC reads the frame buffer, only the Secondary Channel is affected. This leaves the Primary Channel available for system memory accesses. The Isolate input to the RTransceiver is designed to operate at Rambus Signaling Logic levels, but may also be driven by rail-to-rail CMOS levels.
