    Abstract: An integrated circuit memory device is disclosed. The memory device includes at least one group of storage cells. Logic derives a count of error code correction events for each of the at least one group of storage cells. Storage stores the count. A memory control interface selectively communicates the count to a memory controller.

    Abstract: A system that calibrates timing relationships between signals involved in performing write operations is described. This system includes a memory controller which is coupled to a set of memory chips, wherein each memory chip includes a phase detector configured to calibrate a phase relationship between a data-strobe signal and a clock signal received at the memory chip from the memory controller during a write operation. Furthermore, the memory controller is configured to perform one or more write-read-validate operations to calibrate a clock-cycle relationship between the data-strobe signal and the clock signal, wherein the write-read-validate operations involve varying a delay on the data-strobe signal relative to the clock signal by a multiple of a clock period.

    Abstract: A memory system supports single- and dual-memory-module configurations, both supporting point-to-point communication between a host (e.g., a memory controller) and the memory module or modules. Each memory module includes an address-buffer component, data-buffer components, and two sets of memory dies, each set termed a “timing rank,” that can be accessed independently. The one memory module is configured in a wide mode for the single-memory-module configuration, in which case both timing ranks work together, as a “package rank,” to communicate full-width data. Each of two memory modules are configured in a narrow mode for the dual-memory-module configuration, in which case one timing rank from each memory module communicates data in parallel to appear to the host as single package ranks. The data-buffer components support separate and configurable write and read delays for the different timing ranks on each module to provide read and write leveling within and between memory modules.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for operation of a memory controller, memory device and system are described. During operation, the memory controller transmits a read command which specifies that a memory device output data accessed from a memory core. This read command contains information which specifies whether the memory device is to commence outputting of a timing reference signal prior to commencing outputting of the data. The memory controller receives the timing reference signal if the information specified that the memory device output the timing reference signal. The memory controller subsequently samples the data output from the memory device based on information provided by the timing reference signal output from the memory device.

    Abstract: A first-in-first-out (FIFO) storage structure within an integrated-circuit component is loaded with qualification values corresponding to respective pairs of edges expected within a timing strobe signal transmitted to the integrated-circuit component. The qualification values are sequentially output from the FIFO storage structure during respective cycles of the timing strobe signal and a gate signal is either asserted or deasserted during the respective cycles of the timing strobe signal according to the qualification values output from the FIFO storage structure.
