Abstract:
A memory device including memory cells operating according to a first clock signal having a first clock frequency and accessed based on a data access time. The memory device may include a clock shifter circuit for delaying the access commands based on the data access time. The clock shifter circuitry include a shift register circuit and a phase correction circuit. The shift register circuit delays the access commands using a second clock signal having a fraction of the first clock frequency. The phase correction circuit receives the access commands from the shift register circuitry using the fraction of the first clock frequency, delays the access commands based on phase information of the access commands, and outputs the access commands to the memory cells based on the data access time using the first clock frequency.
