A spread spectrum clock generator includes a non-volatile memory to store control codes corresponding to a predetermined delay. A delay circuit receives a control code having a predetermined number of bits that determine a delay to apply to a fixed clock signal a period of time. The delay mitigates the electromagnetic interference caused by a periodic clock signal.

A memory system having a memory element chip (DRAM) and a memory controller chips having a plurality of drivers and receivers and latches for transferred data. For writes clocks, write data and write for CRC (cyclic redundancy checks) is transferred to the DRAM from the memory controller and latched for error checking. The reads are clocked and the read data is received and transferred to a read data latch with also receives a clocked read strobe for verification of data integrity from DRAM. Each chip has a bi-functional pin that acts as a shared CRC pin during write and acts as a shared strobe pin during READ. Data transfers with the CRC signal and DQS signal are transferred across two paths CRC0/DQS and CRC1/DQS1. One could also transfer the CRC signal across one path with only the CRC0/DQS signal. Read operations have no CRC, and have no need for CRC because transfer errors during read can be detected by memory error correction coding (ECC). Write data provides source synchronous I/O data to said memory element chip needed for modem high speed memory communications.

A differential amplifier includes an input stage, a biasing unit and a load unit. The input stage receives a first phase signal and at least two phase signals among odd-numbered phase signals, wherein an average of phases of the at least two phase signals has a phase difference of substantially 180 degrees from the first phase signal. The biasing unit is coupled between the input stage and a first power voltage. The load unit is coupled between the input stage and a second power voltage, and configured to output a differential output signal based on differentially amplifying of the first phase signal and the at least two phase signals. Therefore, a duty cycle distortion in an output signal of a duty cycle correction circuit can be prevented.

A delay-locked loop (DLL) capable of directly receiving external clock signals is provided. The DLL comprises a level selector, a control signal generator, and an internal clock signal generator. The level selector receives an external clock signal, and directly outputs the external clock signal, or changes a level of the external clock signal and outputs a changed external clock signal, in response to a control signal. The control signal generator generates the control signal. The internal clock signal generator receives an output signal of the level selector and the external clock signal, and generates an internal clock signal synchronized to a phase of an output signal of the level selector.
