Abstract:
A method for performing signal control of an electronic device and an associated apparatus are provided, where the method includes the steps of: when it is detected that a phase difference between a data signal and a clock signal reaches a predetermined value, controlling the clock signal to switch from a first frequency to a second frequency, wherein both of the clock signal and the data signal are signals of the electronic device (e.g. signals of a memory interface circuit of the electronic device); applying at least one phase shift to the data signal until a condition is satisfied; and controlling the clock signal to switch from the second frequency to the first frequency; wherein the data signal is calibrated with respect to the clock signal with aid of the at least one phase shift.

A memory system includes a memory controller and a memory module. The memory controller is arranged for selectively generating at least a clock signal and an inverted clock signal. The memory module includes a first termination resistor, a second termination resistor and a switch module, where a first node of the first termination resistor is to receive the clock signal, a second termination resistor, wherein a first node of the second termination resistor is to receive the inverted clock signal, and the switch module is arranged for selectively connecting or disconnecting a second node of the second termination resistor to a second node of the first termination resistor.

An apparatus for performing signal driving with aid of MOSFET and an associated IC are provided, where the apparatus includes a PMOSFET coupled between a predetermined voltage level and a terminal, and further includes an NMOSFET coupled between the predetermined voltage level and the terminal. The PMOSFET is arranged for selectively driving a signal that passes through the terminal. In addition, the NMOSFET is arranged for selectively driving the signal. Additionally, the apparatus further includes another NMOSFET coupled between another predetermined voltage level and the terminal, wherein the other NMOSFET is arranged for selectively driving the signal. More particularly, the PMOSFET, the NMOSFET, and the other NMOSFET does not drive the signal at the same time. For example, each of the PMOSFET, the NMOSFET, and the other NMOSFET selectively drives the signal to have one of a plurality of logical states.

An apparatus for performing signal driving in an electronic device may include a decoupling capacitor and at least one switching unit (e.g. one or more switching units). The decoupling capacitor may have a first terminal and a second terminal, and may be positioned in an output stage within the electronic device and coupled between a first predetermined voltage level and another predetermined voltage level, where the apparatus may perform signal driving with aid of the output stage. In addition, the aforementioned at least one switching unit may be coupled between one terminal of the first and the second terminals of the decoupling capacitor and at least one of the first predetermined voltage level and the other predetermined voltage level, and may be arranged for selectively disabling the decoupling capacitor.
