Abstract: A shared data transfer clock is used among double data rate memory ranks. A memory controller processes incoming memory access commands destined for at least one of a plurality of double data rate memory ranks and determines when a target DDR memory rank is out of synchronization with respect to the shared data transfer clock and a memory clock. In response to determining that the target DDR memory rank is out of synchronization, the memory controller determines whether the non-target DDR memory rank is out-of-synchronization with respect to the shared data transfer clock and the memory clock, and issues a data transfer clock synchronization command to the target DDR memory rank in response to determining that the non-target DDR memory rank is out-of-synchronization with respect to the shared data transfer clock and the memory clock.

Abstract: A memory accessing circuit includes a memory controller for scheduling accesses to a memory, and a physical interface circuit for driving signals to the memory according to scheduled accesses and having configuration data. The memory controller comprises a memory and is responsive to a low power mode entry signal to save the configuration data in the memory. The physical interface circuit removes operating power from circuitry in the physical interface circuit that stores the configuration data in response to the memory controller completing a save operation.

Abstract: A memory controller includes a first arbiter for selecting memory commands for dispatch to a memory over a first channel, a second arbiter for selecting memory commands for dispatch to the memory over a second channel, and a test circuit. The test circuit generates a respective testing sequence of read commands and write commands for each of the first channel and second channel, and causes the testing sequences to be transmitted over the first and second channels at least partially overlapping in time without selection by the first or second arbiters.
