    Abstract: A synchronous memory device includes clock receiver circuitry to receive first and second external clock signals from an external bus. Clock generation circuitry, coupled to the clock receiver circuitry, generates a first internal clock signal having a clock edge which is synchronized with at least the first external clock signal and generates a second internal clock signal having a clock edge which is synchronized with at least the second external clock signal. The memory device further includes a first subarray section and a second subarray section. The first subarray section includes a first internal I/O line to access data from a first memory cell location and a second internal I/O line to access data from a second memory cell location. The second subarray section includes a first internal I/O line to access data from a third memory cell location in the second subarray section and a second internal I/O line to access data from a fourth memory cell location in the second subarray section. The memory device also includes output driver circuitry, including a first output driver and a second output driver, to output data onto the external bus in response to the read request. Multiplexer circuitry couples the first internal I/O line of the first subarray section to an input of the first driver and couples the first internal I/O line of the second subarray section to an input of the second driver in response to a clock edge of a first internal clock signal; and couples the second internal I/O line of the first subarray section to an input of the first driver and couples the second internal I/O line of the second subarray section to an input of the second driver in response to the clock edge of the second internal clock signal.

    Abstract: A clock signal generation apparatus for a memory device of a data processing system is described for generating an internal clock signal for the memory device that is synchronized with an external clock signal. The data processing system includes a transmission line for transmitting a global clock signal to the memory device. A first receiving circuit is coupled to a first point of the transmission line for receiving the global clock signal at the first point and for generating a first local clock signal. A first delay circuitry delays the first local clock signal to be a first delayed clock signal such that the first delayed local clock signal is synchronized with the global clock signal received at the first point of the transmission line. The first delay circuitry provides a first variable delay to the first delayed local clock signal. A second receiving circuit is coupled to the second point of the transmission line for receiving the global clock signal at the second point and for generating a second local clock signal. A second delay circuitry delays the second local clock signal to be a second delayed clock signal such that the second delayed local clock signal is synchronized with the global clock signal received at the second point of the transmission line. The second delay circuitry provides a second variable delay to the second delayed local clock signal. A third delay circuitry is coupled to receive the first and second local clock signals for generating the internal clock signal for the memory device at a timing that is halfway between the first and second local clock signals.
