`ABSTRACT
`An integrated circuit includes a single chip (102) that has a
`microprocessor (702), a memory controller unit (718), an
`internal bus (714) connecting the microprocessor (702) and
`the memory controller unit (718), and an external bus to
`internal bus interface circuit (716). The microprocessor
`(102) occupies a substantially rectangular region on a sub
`strate (802). The memory controller unit (718) occupies a
`first strip along one side of the microprocessor unit (702)
`accessible via the bond pads broadside to the first strip.
`Other circuits, systems, and methods are disclosed.

`high-end desktop computers called workstations based on a
`number of superscalar and other very-high-performance
`microprocessors such as the SuperSPARC microprocessor
`have been introduced.
`In a further development, a notebook-size or palm-top
`computer is optionally battery powered for portable user
`applications. Such notebook and smaller computers chal
`lenge the art in demands for conflicting goals of
`miniaturization, ever higher speed. performance and
`flexibility, and long life between battery recharges. Also, a
`desktop enclosure called a docking station has the portable
`computer fit into the docking station, and improvements in
`such portable-computer/docking-station systems are desir
`able. Improvements in circuits, integrated circuit devices,
`computer systems of all types, and methods to address all the
`just-mentioned challenges, among others, are desirable, as
`described herein.
`
`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`Generally, and in one form of the invention, an integrated
`circuit chip has a microprocessor, a memory controller unit,
`an internal bus connecting the microprocessor and the
`memory controller unit, and an external bus to internal bus
`interface circuit. The microprocessor occupies a substan
`tially rectangular region on the substrate. The memory
`controller unit occupies a first strip along one side of the
`microprocessor unit accessible via the bond pads broadside
`to the first strip.
`Other systems. circuits and methods are also claimed.

`FIELD OF THE INVENTTON
`This invention generally relates to electronic circuits,
`computer systems and methods of operating them.
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`Without limiting the scope of the invention, its back
`ground is described in connection with computer systems, as
`an example.
`Early computers required large amounts of space. occu
`pying whole rooms. Since then minicomputers and desktop
`computers entered the marketplace.
`Popular desktop computers have included the "Apple"
`(Motorola 680x0 microprocessor-based) and "IBM
`compatible" (Intel or other x86 microprocessor-based)
`65
`varieties. also known as personal computers (PCs) which
`have become very popular for office and home use. Also,
