    Abstract: A circuit and method are described for transferring data in a semiconductor memory in synchronism with a reference clock. A data transfer circuit according to the invention includes a non-overlapping clock generator, a data output circuit, and a data input circuit. The non-overlapping clock generator generates a plurality of non-overlapping clock signals, each of which is active during a different time interval during a period of one external clock cycle. The data output circuit selects and outputs a selected one of a plurality of internal data signals in response to an active one of the non-overlapping clock signals. The data input circuit then receives the selected one of the internal data signals and outputs it to the semiconductor memory in response to the active one of the non-overlapping clock signals. By utilizing a non-overlapping clock generator to produce multiple clock pulses during a single external clock cycle, each of which triggers data transfer, data processing speed and operation rate is improved. Detrimental increase in power consumption, which normally results from an increase in the operation rate within the circuit, is reduced by removing the need for multiple input receivers.

    Abstract: A data input circuit for a semiconductor memory device uses an echo clock generator to reduce the clock cycle time. The echo clock is transmitted in the memory device with the data, thereby reducing the effects of clock skew and increasing the overall device operation speed. The circuit is particularly applicable to double data rate synchronous DRAM (DDR-SDRAM) circuitry.
