    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.
