    摘要: A memory device including a memory array storing data, a variable delay controller, a passive variable delay circuit and an output driver. The variable delay controller periodically receives delay commands from a first source external to the memory device during operation of the memory device, and outputs delay instruction bits responsive to the received delay commands. The passive variable delay circuit receives a clock from a second source external to the memory device, receives the delay instruction bits from the variable delay controller, generates a delayed clock having a time relation to the received clock as determined by the delay instruction bits, and outputting the delayed clock. The output driver receives the data from the memory array and the delayed clock, and outputs the data at a time responsive to the delayed clock.

The structure includes two or more unit oscillators, each unit oscillator implemented by a ring oscillator having M stages. The structure also includes a horizontal loop coupling the two or more unit oscillators to generate multiple phases.

    摘要: A system for providing read clock sharing between memory devices. The system includes a memory device having an external clock receiver, a read clock receiver, and a phase comparator. The phase comparator synchronizes an internal read clock generated at the memory device. The phase comparator additionally synchronizes one of an external clock received by the external clock receiver and an external read clock received by the read clock receiver. The results of the synchronizing are utilized to refresh the internal read clock. The memory device also includes a mechanism, a read clock driver and a mode register fit. The mechanism is utilized to select between the external clock and the external read clock as input to the phase comparator. The read clock driver outputs the internal read clock generated at the memory device to a read clock output pin. The mode register bit controls the selection of the mechanism, the enabling and disabling of the read clock receiver and the enabling and disabling of the read clock driver.
