    摘要: Bus communications are optimized by adjusting signal characteristics in accordance with one or more topography dependent parameters. In a bus transmitter, a transmit signal characteristic is adjusted in accordance with a topography dependent parameter. A port in the bus transmitter receives the topography dependent parameter for later use by the parameter adjustment circuitry. The parameter adjustment circuitry adjusts a parameter control signal in accordance with the topography dependent parameter, which is coupled to the output driver. Prior to driving an output signal onto a bus, the output driver adjusts the transmit signal characteristic in accordance with the parameter control signal. In a bus receiver, a receive signal characteristic is adjusted in response to a topography dependent parameter. A port associated with the bus receiver receives the topography dependent parameter and stores it in a register. Parameter adjustment circuitry adjusts a control signal in accordance with the stored topography dependent parameter. An input buffer receives an input signal from a bus coupling the receiver to a transmitter of the input signal. The input buffer generates a first signal from the input signal by adjusting a the parameter of the input signal in accordance with the control signal.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for concurrently refreshing first and second rows of memory cells in a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) component that includes a plurality of banks of memory cells organized in rows. A command interface in the DRAM component receives activate requests and precharge requests. A row register in the DRAM component indicates a row in the DRAM component. Logic in the DRAM component activates the row indicated by the row register in response to an activate request and precharges the row in response to a precharge request, the row being in a bank indicated by the activate request and by the precharge request.
