    摘要: A memory controller for strobe-based memory systems is disclosed. The memory controller comprises a circuit to generate a control signal having a predetermined timing relationship with respect to a first clock signal, a circuit to receive the control signal, and a receiver to sample the read data in response to the qualified read strobe signal. The receiving circuit comprises an input to receive an external read strobe signal transmitted by a semiconductor memory device, circuitry to synchronize the control signal and the received read strobe signal to have a common timing relationship with respect to each other, and circuitry to gate the read strobe signal based on the synchronized control signal.

    摘要: A system and method for synchronizing a strobed memory system 10. During memory read and/or memory write operations the corresponding data strobe is sampled at the data destination 50/55 according to a local clock signal 71/73. Based on the results of the sampling, the data strobe and local clock signal are synchronized. In this manner, the data is synchronized to the local clock signal so that sampling of data at the data destination can be performed according to the local clock signal rather than the data strobe.

    摘要: A data system 102 permits bus encoding based on frequency of the bus; an encoding scheme may be implemented to avoid undesirable frequency conditions such as a resonant condition that may lead to degradation in system performance. The device or integrated circuit will typically include an encoder; in one embodiment, the encoder is a data bus inversion (DBI) circuit that selectively inverts all lines of a data bus. A detector that may include a band-pass or stop-band filter that, for example, evaluates data for transmission on the bus to detect frequency, for example, a predetermined frequency or a frequency range. The detector provides a control signal for the encoder to selectively apply an encoding scheme as a function of frequency.

    摘要: A memory controller operates in two modes to support different types of memory devices. In a first mode, the memory controller distributes a dedicated reference voltage with each of a plurality of signal bundles to a corresponding plurality of memory devices. The reference voltages are conveyed using pads that are alternatively used for e.g. timing-reference signals in a second mode, so the provision for bundle-specific reference voltages need not increase the number of pads on the memory controller.

    摘要: Embodiments of a circuit are described. In this circuit, a receive circuit includes M input nodes that receive a set of M symbols on M links during a time interval, where the set of M symbols are associated with a codeword. Moreover, the receive circuit includes a decoder, coupled to the M input nodes, that determines the codeword in a code space based on the set of M symbols and that decodes the codeword to a corresponding set of N decoded symbols. Additionally, the receive circuit may include a detector that detects an imbalance in a number of instances of a first value in the set of M symbols, and a number of instances of a second value in the set of M symbols, and, if an imbalance is detected, that asserts an error condition.
