    Abstract: Memory modules having accurate operating current values stored thereon and methods for fabricating and implementing such devices to improve system performance. Memory modules comprising a number of volatile memory devices may be fabricated. Operating current values for specific memory devices on the memory module or a specific lot in which the memory devices are fabricated may be stored on a non-volatile memory device on the memory module. A system may be configured in accordance with the operating current values stored on the non-volatile memory device such that operating current thresholds are not exceeded.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for reducing the power consumption of a memory integrated circuit during a period of power down mode operation by interrupting the clocking transitions of a delay line. A memory integrated circuit may include a delay lock loop including a plurality of delay elements connected to one another in series and adapted to delay propagation of the signal of a free running clock. When the delayed signal is not required, as during a period of power down mode operation, the free running clock signal is prevented from reaching the delay lock loop. Consequently the delay elements do not toggle, and power associated with delay element toggling is saved.

    Abstract: A method for programming a synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) device including a memory array is disclosed. In the method, the SDRAM device is initially programmed to have a first control operating option in response to a first command. Reprogramming of the SDRAM device includes a second control operating option in response to a second command. The array remains simultaneously active in response to an active internal row address signal while the control operation feature is programmed to have the second control operating option.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a synchronous DRAM memory module with control circuitry that allows the memory module to operate partially asynchronously. Specifically, a circuit is disclosed which utilizes address transition detection to begin decoding the column-address immediately after a new column-address is present on the address bus lines and without waiting for the column-address strobe signal to synchronize with the rising or falling edge of the synchronizing clock signal. Also disclosed is a manner of controlling the latching circuitry whereby each new column-address may be decoded and held within a buffer until the column-address strobe signal notifies the circuitry that the column-address is correct and is to be input into the microprocessor. Thus, each new column-address will be decoded immediately after it is present on the address lines and undesired column-addresses will be discarded, while desired column-addresses are input into the memory array bank immediately upon the presence of the column-address strobe which denotes that the column-address is final. The present invention improves the access times of read and write operations in synchronous DRAM memory by up to a complete clock cycle.

The master control circuit generates and initialization signal in response to the first command and generates a reprogramming signal in response to the second command. The initialization and reprogramming circuit responds to the initialization signal to control initial programming of a burst control operation feature and responds to the reprogramming signal to control a reprogramming of the burst control operation feature.
