Abstract: A memory device includes a clock input configured to receive a clock from a host device. The memory device also includes a command input configured to receive command and address bits from the host device. The memory device further includes multiple die stacked in a three-dimensional stack. A first die of the plurality of die includes a first plurality of memory cells and first local control circuitry. The first local circuitry includes division circuitry configured to receive the clock from the clock input, generate a divided clock having a lower frequency than that of the clock, and generate multiple clocks from the divided clock with each of the multiple clocks having a lower frequency than the divided clock. The memory device also includes one or more transmitters configured to transmit the multiple clocks using inter-die interconnects between the multiple die.

Abstract: Memory devices may have a memory array and a delay locked loop (DLL) circuit that adjusts signals associated with operations to access of the memory array. The memory device may also include a controller that delays an access command to access the memory array by transmitting the access command through delay circuitry of the DLL circuit. This may cause the access command to be delayed by a first duration of time when output from the delay circuitry. Delay of the access command may align a data signal and the access command such that the access command and a system clock may cause latching of suitable data of the data signal.

Abstract: A memory device includes cyclic redundancy check (CRC) circuitry configured to indicate whether an error has been detected in transmission of data from a host device to the memory device. The CRC circuitry includes a synchronous counter that is configured to synchronize a count with a system clock and to transmit the count. The CRC circuitry also includes pulse width control circuitry that is configured to receive the synchronized count from the synchronous counter and to generate pulse width controls based at least in part on the synchronized count. Furthermore, the CRC circuitry includes synchronization circuitry that is configured to receive the pulse width controls and to generate an error alert signal based at least in part on the pulse width controls.
