A semiconductor memory module includes a plurality of semiconductor memory chips. Each semiconductor memory chip includes an interface circuit that is configured to detect a transmission error in a write datum and is further configured to output, via a separate signal path, a repeat request signal for the repeated transmission of the write datum detected as erroneous. This repeat request signal can be transmitted either as a single-bit signal or as a multibit signal (e.g., serially as an individual signal line to a superordinate memory controller).

The present invention relates to a memory system having a memory device with two clock lines. One embodiment of the present invention provides a memory system comprising at least one memory device, a memory controller to control operation of the memory device, a first clock line which extends from a write clock output of the memory controller to a clock port of the memory device to provide a clock signal to the memory device, and a second clock line which extends from the clock port of the memory device to a read clock input of the memory controller to forward the clock signal applied to the clock port of the memory device back to a read clock input of the memory controller. The memory device may further comprise a synchronization circuit adapted to receive the clock signal from the memory controller and to, provide an output data synchronized to the forwarded clock signal.

摘要:
A semiconductor memory chip in which signals are transferred as serial signal frames includes a frame decoder providing an interface between a memory core and a reception interface. The frame decoder includes a command type decoder for decoding the types of commands included in frames according to the decoded type of the commands, a memory command evaluator/generator for scheduling and preparing single commands for the core, an intermediate data buffer command evaluator/generator for scheduling and preparing control signals for an intermediate data buffer, and a system command evaluator/generator for preparing and scheduling system commands. These system commands provide timing parameters to ensure time intervals between consecutive commands within one frame or between frames and are stored in a system mode register. The operation of the frame decoder is edge-synchronized by a frame clock or a synchronization decoder clock signal which is phase-aligned to that frame clock signal.
