    摘要: A delay locked loop (DLL) circuit having a duty cycle corrector (DCC) that has a broad range of duty cycle correction, consumes only a small amount of power, has few restrictions on operating frequency, and improves the characteristics of a memory device is described. The delay locked loop circuit includes an additional loop for duty cycle correction as well as loops for controlling a rising edge and a falling edge of output signals. Thus, the delay locked loop circuit can internally correct the duty cycle without the use of a phase blender.

The semiconductor memory device comprises a duty cycle correction circuit, which receives an external clock, corrects the duty cycle of the external clock, and outputs the corrected duty cycle. The duty cycle correction circuit comprises a first delay locked loop that receives the external clock, inverts the external clock, synchronizes the external clock with the inverted external clock, and outputs the synchronized clock; a second delay locked loop that receives the inverted external clock, synchronizes the inverted external clock with the external clock and outputs the synchronized clock; an inverting circuit that inverts the output signal of the first delay locked loop; an interpolation circuit that interpolates the output signal of the inverting circuit with the output signal of the second delay locked loop, and outputs the interpolated signal; and a control circuit that controls the interpolation circuit in response to the clock frequency information of the external clock.

    摘要: A memory system with delay locked loop (DLL) bypass control including a method for accessing memory that includes receiving a memory read command at a memory device. The memory device is configured to operate in a DLL off-mode to bypass a DLL clock as input to generating a read clock. A DLL power-on command is received at the memory device and in response to receiving the DLL power-on command a DLL initialization process is performed at the memory device. The memory read command is serviced at the memory device operating in the DLL off-mode, the servicing overlapping in time with performing the DLL initialization process. The memory device is configured to operate in a DLL on-mode to utilize the DLL clock as input to generating the read clock in response to a specified period of time elapsing. The specified period of time is relative to receiving the DLL power-on command.

    摘要: A method and circuit for implementing die stacking to distribute a logical function over multiple dies, die identification and sparing in through-silicon-via stacked semiconductor devices, and a design structure on which the subject circuit resides are provided. Each die in the die stack includes predefined functional logic for implementing a respective predefined function. The respective predefined function is executed in each respective die and a respective functional result is provided to an adjacent die in the die stack. Each die in the die stack includes logic for providing die identification. An operational die signature is formed by combining a plurality of selected signals on each die. A die signature is coupled to a next level adjacent die using TSV interconnections where it is combined with that die signature.
