    摘要: A dummy wiring 25 is provided for simulating an actual wiring 26 connecting semiconductor integrated circuits 2 and 6 on a circuit board. The semiconductor integrated circuit comprises a data output circuit 28 capable of variably setting the slew rate and a circuit 29 for measuring signal delay time between a signal sending point and a signal reflection point (characteristic impedance mismatching point) using the dummy wiring 25, and the delay time so obtained by the measuring circuit is used for the determination of the signal transition time of the output circuit. The transition time of the signal is set at least twice of the signal delay time between the signal sending point and the wiring branch at the nearest end. In this way, signal transmission with alleviated reflection by the reflection point at the nearest end is realized.

    摘要: Control on the speed of operation of a delay loop from the output of a variable delay circuit to a delay control input thereof is performed. For example, frequency-dividing circuits are respectively placed at the input and output of the variable delay circuit. A signal obtained by frequency-dividing a signal outputted from the variable delay circuit is supplied to one input of a phase comparator through a dummy delay circuit, and a signal obtained by frequency-dividing the input of the variable delay circuit is supplied to the other input of the phase comparator. Phase control is performed according to the result of comparison between the phases of both signals.

    摘要: Disclosed are a memory command address system and a memory module that can be operated not only for 266 MHzCLK but also for 200 MHzCLK, in which clock timings in the input sections of a PLL, a register, and a DRAM are matched to one another, a DLL (delay locked loop) is provided in the register, the output timing of CA signal from the register is controlled so that the setup time margin and the hold time margin of the CA signal with respect to the clock signal with the additional latency in the DRAM=1.5 or 2.0 are equated to each other, such that clock operation of 266 MHz, for example, is made possible. If both 266 MHz and 200 MHz are used, by taking account of the timing budget, control is made for retarding the timing of the CA signal input to the flip-flop which receives an internal clock signal (intCLK) supplied to the flip-flop for determining the CA signal output timing from the register. Alternatively, control is made for switching between the replica (replical) provided in the register and an output unit associated with the replica, depending on the frequency being used, so as to cope with both frequencies simply by providing one sort of the module and one sort of the register.
