摘要:
Apparatus and methods are provided for improving data exchanges between electronic devices, such as memory controllers and RLDRAMs. An I/O cell includes a signal pad for transferring a first signal to an electronic device coupled thereto and for receiving a second signal from the electronic device. In one aspect, a duty cycle controller is coupled to the signal pad for balancing a duty cycle of the first signal with respect to a clock signal. In another aspect, dynamic switchable termination is coupled to the signal pad for providing termination impedance when the I/O cell is receiving the second signal.

摘要:
An apparatus comprising an input section, a first delay circuit and a second delay circuit. The input section may be configured to present a first intermediate signal by selecting either (i) an input clock signal or (ii) a feedback of an output signal.

A system and method are provided for reducing the signal delay skew is disclosed, according to a variety of embodiments. One illustrative embodiment of the present disclosure is directed to a method. According to one illustrative embodiment, the method includes receiving an initial netlist having components and connection paths among the components; identifying a first connection path in the initial netlist that comprises path fragments for which there are no equivalent path fragments in a second connection path in the initial netlist; generating a skew-corrected netlist wherein the second connection path is re-routed to have path fragments equivalent to the path fragments of the first connection path; and outputting the skew-corrected netlist.

A system and method are provided for reducing signal skew. The method includes receiving a netlist having components and connections among the components. Each connection has at least one signal wire. A plurality of net groups is identified, each net group including at least some of the connections and for which equivalent routing is desired. For each net group, the method includes systematically routing connection paths between the components for the connections, each connection path extending between an output of one of the components and an input to at least one other of the components and including at least one path fragment. Routing includes, for at least one of the connections of the net group, routing at least one grounded shielding wire in a routing channel adjacent and parallel to at least one of the path fragments of the connection path.
