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: A calibration controller determines a latest arriving data strobe from at least one data chip at a first data buffer in a read data path between at least one memory chip and a host on a high speed interface. The calibration controller determines whether external feedback of the at least one data chip is required. The calibration controller, in response to determining that external feedback of the at least one data chip is required, aligns a chip clock distributed to a second data buffer in the read data path with the latest arriving data strobe by applying a 180 degree phase align of the chip clock through one or more latches, wherein data cross a first clock boundary from the first data buffer to the second data buffer, to minimize a latency in the read data path across the first clock boundary.

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.
