Abstract
Described is an apparatus which comprises: a reference device; and a processor having a plurality of circuit units, each circuit unit is operable to electronically couple with the reference device such that only one circuit unit of the plurality of circuit units is electronically coupled to the reference device at a given time while other circuit units of the plurality are electronically uncoupled to the reference device during that time.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a memory;
- a reference device;
- a processor coupled to the memory and the reference device, the processor having a plurality of circuit units, each circuit unit is operable to electronically couple with the reference device such that one circuit unit of the plurality of circuit units is electronically coupled to the reference device at a given time while other circuit units of the plurality are electronically uncoupled to the reference device during that time.
The system further comprising:
- a wireless interface for allowing the processor to communicatively couple to another device.
An apparatus comprising:
- a reference device;
- and
- a processor including:
- a plurality of circuit units;
- and
- logic to provide a valid token to one of the circuit units of the plurality to cause that circuit unit to electronically couple with the reference device, while the logic is to provide an invalid token to other circuit units to cause the other circuit units to electronically uncouple with the reference device.

A processor comprising:
- a plurality of circuit units;
- and
- logic to provide a valid token to one of the circuit units of the plurality to cause that circuit unit to electronically couple with a reference device, while the logic is to provide an invalid token to other circuit units to cause the other circuit units to electronically uncouple with the reference device.
