Abstract: A signal transmitter circuit includes an output driver circuit configured to transmit a signal using a multi-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) scheme comprising a plurality of discreet signal levels. During operation, the output driver initiates a first transition of the signal to a first level of the multi-level PAM scheme from a second level of the multi-level PAM scheme, and initiates a second transition of the signal to the first level from a third level of the multi-level PAM scheme. The signal transmitter further includes a control circuit configured to control a slew rate of the signal transmitter circuit to cause the signal to reach a threshold voltage level at a first time, the first time occurring a first duration of time after the first transition is initiated, and to cause the signal to reach the threshold voltage level at a second time, the second time occurring the first duration of time after the second transition is initiated.

Abstract: A control component implements pipelined data processing operations in either of two timing domains bridged by a domain-crossing circuit according to one or more configuration signals that indicate relative clock frequencies of the two domain and/or otherwise indicate which of the two timing domains will complete the data processing operations with lowest latency.

Abstract: Technologies for converting serial data stream to a parallel data and strobe scheme with data strobe preamble information in the serial data stream are described. A device includes an interface circuit that receives a serial data stream and converts the serial data stream to parallel data and a data strobe (DQS) signal associated with the parallel data using N-bit header fields inserted into the serial data stream. The N-bit header fields specify DQS preamble information for the parallel data.

Abstract: Described are memory systems and devices in which each memory die in a three-dimensional stack of memory dies includes drive and receive circuitry that can communicate data signals from the stack on behalf of all the memory dies in the stack. The drive and receive circuitry, if defective on one device in the stack, can be disabled and substituted with the drive and receive circuitry from another. The stack of memory dies can thus function despite a failure of drive or receive circuitry in one or more of the memory dies. Each memory die includes test circuitry to detect defective drive and receive circuitry.
