    摘要: A single chip dynamic random access memory has a memory core, including dynamic random access memory cells, and a clock receiver circuit to receive an external clock signal. A delay locked loop circuit is coupled to the clock receiver circuit. In a first power mode, the delay locked loop circuit and the clock receiver circuit are turned on. Power consumption in the first power mode is less than that consumed while in an active mode. In a second power mode, the delay locked loop circuit is turned off. The memory is configured to receive a command that specifies a power down mode, to turn off the delay locked loop circuit in response to the command that specifies the power down mode, and to operate the memory device in a standby power mode. The delay locked loop circuit and the clock receiver circuit are turned on in a standby mode.

    摘要: A method and system provides for execution of calibration cycles from time to time during normal operation of the communication channel. A calibration cycle includes de-coupling the normal data source from the transmitter and supplying a calibration pattern in its place. The calibration pattern is received from the communication link using the receiver on the second component. A calibrated value of a parameter of the communication channel is determined in response to the received calibration pattern. The steps involved in calibration cycles can be reordered to account for utilization patterns of the communication channel. For bidirectional links, calibration cycles are executed which include the step of storing received calibration patterns on the second component, and retransmitting such calibration patterns back to the first component for use in adjusting parameters of the channel at first component.

    摘要: A memory system having first and second memory devices and a termination component. A first signal line is coupled to the first memory device to provide first data, associated with a write command, to the first memory device, and a second signal line coupled to the second memory device to provide second data, associated with the write command, to the second memory device. A control signal path is coupled to the first and second memory devices and the termination component such that the write command propagating on the control signal path propagates past the first memory device and the second memory device before reaching the termination component. A third signal line is provided to convey a clock signal that indicates when the write command propagating on the control signal path is to be sampled by the first and second memory devices.

    摘要: A dynamic random access memory device includes banks of dynamic memory cells. The device performs a refresh operation in response to receiving a self refresh command, by refreshing rows of the memory cells located in each of the banks. Further, a refresh frequency for the refresh operation is selected such that the refresh frequency is minimized to conserve power consumed by the memory device while being sufficient to refresh the rows of the memory cells.

    摘要: An integrated circuit memory device has a first set of pins to receive, using a clock signal, a row address followed by a column address. The device has a second set of pins to receive, using the clock signal, a sense command and a write command. The sense command specifies that the device activate a row of memory cells identified by the row address. The write command specifies that the memory device receive write data and store the write data at a location, identified by the column address, in the row of memory cells. The write command is posted internally to the memory device after a first delay has transpired from a first time period in which the write command is received at the second set of pins. The write data is received at a third set of pins after a second delay has transpired from the first time period.
