Abstract:
Devices, systems, and methods include controls for on-die termination (ODT) and data strobe signals. For example, a command to de-assert ODT for a data pin (DQ) during the read operation. An input, such as a mode register, receives an indication of a shift mode register value that corresponds to a number of shifts of a rising edge of the command in a backward or a falling edge in a forward direction. A delay chain delays the appropriate edge of received command the number of shifts in the corresponding direction to generate a shifted edge command signal. Combination circuitry then combines a falling edge command signal with a shifted rising edge command signal to form a transformed command.
Abstract:
An apparatus or method may include provision of a command to a data block. An example apparatus includes a command circuit configured to provide a command signal in an internal clock time domain based at least in part on a memory access command received in an external clock time domain. The example apparatus further includes a command path delay configured to delay the command signal. The example apparatus further includes a data strobe generator circuit configured to receive the command signal and a data strobe signal. A plurality of clock edges of the data strobe signal correspond to received data bits associated with the memory access command. The data strobe generator circuit is configured to control input circuitry to capture the data associated with the memory access command based at least in part on the data strobe signal and the command signal.

Apparatuses and methods for address detection are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes an address filter and an address tracking circuit. The address filter may be configured to receive a first address and to determine whether the first address matches an address of a plurality of addresses associated with the address filter. The address tracking circuit may be coupled to the address filter and configured to store the first address responsive to a determination that the first address matches an address of the plurality of addresses associated with the address filter. The address tracking circuit may further be configured to receive a second address and to change a count associated with the first address based on the second address matching the first address. The address tracking circuit may be configured to selectively provide the first address responsive to the count.
Abstract:
Circuits, integrated circuits, and methods are disclosed for bimodal disable circuits. In one such example method, a counter is maintained, with the counter indicating a logic level at which an output signal will be disabled during at least a portion of one of a plurality of disable cycles. The logic level indicated by the counter is transitioned. An input signal is provided as the output signal responsive to the enable signal indicating that the output signal is to be enabled, and the output signal is disabled at the logic level indicated by the counter responsive to the enable signal indicating that the output signal is to be disabled.
Abstract:
An example memory apparatus includes clock circuitry. The clock circuitry can generate first and second clock signals based on a system clock signal, with the first and second clock signals being mutually out of phase. The apparatus can include detection circuitry to provide a detection result indicating whether an initial operation of a self-refresh exit operation coincides with a rising edge of the first clock signal or a rising edge of the second clock signal. The apparatus can include processing circuitry to provide an odd clock signal and an even clock signal based first and second clock signals and the detection result. The processing circuitry can provide the odd clock signal and the even clock signal out of phase or in phase with the first clock signal and the second clock signal depending on the detection result.
Abstract:
A memory device includes a command interface configured to receive a two-cycle command from a host device via multiple command address bits. The memory device also includes a command decoder configured to decode a first portion of the multiple command address bits in a first cycle of the two-cycle command. The command decoder includes mask circuitry. The mask circuitry includes mask generation circuitry configured to generate a mask signal. The mask circuitry also includes multiplexer circuitry configured to apply the mask signal to block the command decoder from decoding a second portion of the multiple command address bits in a second cycle of the two-cycle command.
Abstract:
An exemplary semiconductor device includes an internal clock circuit configured to intermittently enable and disable a clock signal while in a Maximum Power Savings Mode. The duty cycle of the enablement and disablement of the clock signal may be based on susceptibility to negative-bias temperature instability of a component of the semiconductor device. The clock signal may be enabled and disabled via a synchronizer.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, and systems related to coordinating a set of timing-critical operations across parallel processing pipelines are described. The coordination may include selectively using (1) circuitry associated with a corresponding pipeline to generate enable signals associated with the timing critical operations when a separation between the operations corresponds to a number of pipelines or (2) circuitry associated with a non-corresponding or another pipeline when the separation is not a factor of the number of pipelines.
Abstract:
Devices and methods include a command input configured to receive a command for a memory device. Second stage wakeup circuitry configured to receive a portion of the command and output an indication of whether the command is a non-burst command based on the portion. Clock gating circuitry is configured to receive an input clock and a wake signal. The clock gating circuitry is also configured to output an internal clock based at least in part on a pulse of the received wake signal. The clock gating circuitry also is configured to maintain the output of the internal clock for a duration based on the indication with the duration being shorter when the indication indicates that the command is a non-burst command.
