    摘要: An integrated circuit device outputs a sequence of differently delayed calibration data timing signals to a DRAM component via a data-signal timing line as part of a timing calibration operation and then stores a delay value, based on at least one of the calibration data timing signals, that compensates for a difference in signal propagation times over the data-signal timing line and a command/address-signal timing line. After the timing calibration operation, the integrated circuit device outputs write data to the DRAM component and outputs a write data timing signal, delayed according to the delay value, to via the data-signal timing line to time reception of the first write data within the DRAM.

    摘要: Devices and methods include organizing memory units of a memory device into a number of groups. The devices and methods also include self-refreshing each group of memory units on different corresponding sequential clock pulses of a self-refresh clock. Specifically, at least one of each group of memory units counts pulses of a self-refresh clock and invokes a self-refresh after every nth pulse of a cycle of pulses while not invoking a self-refresh on all other pulses of the cycle of pulses.

    摘要: Disclosed is a resonant circuit and method for matched clock and data timing performance for improving timing closure of digital circuits on advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes. The matched resonance circuit comprises pulse generator circuit (202) and plurality of generating latches (206A-N) and plurality of sampling latches (304A-N). The pulse generator circuit (202) comprises plurality of inverters (210A-N), optimum resistance (214) and exclusive OR (Ex-OR) gate (218) which are connected in series and a matched capacitance. The pulse generator circuit (202) generates timing pulse output using one or more buffers and clock inductor. Each generating latch receives clock timing pulse output as timing pulse into plurality of sampling flip-flop latches (304A-N) through clock sample path (CS) to match arrival of timing pulse and outputs of plurality of input data lines that are resonated by connecting one or more of respective load capacitances with at least one shared inductor (208).
