    摘要: An integrated circuit may include a memory controller that interfaces with memory via one or more ports. A given port may be coupled to a comparator that receives data signals from the memory and a reference voltage signal and produces a corresponding output signal that identifies whether the data signals are logic one signals or logic zero signals. The memory controller may include detection circuitry coupled to the port that produces a target reference voltage signal for calibration of the reference voltage signal. The memory controller may include circuitry that produces the reference voltage signal based on control signals received from control circuitry. The control circuitry may generate the control signals to calibrate the reference voltage signal based on the target reference voltage.

    摘要: Circuits, methods, and apparatus for memory interfaces that compensate for skew between a clock signal and DQ/DQS signals that may be caused by a fly-by routing topology. The skew is compensated by clocking the DQ/DQS signals with a phase delayed clock signal, where the phase delay has been calibrated. In one example calibration routine, a clock signal is provided to a receiving device. A DQ/DQS signal is also provided and the timing of their reception compared. A delay of the DQ/DQS signal is changed incrementally until the DQ/DQS signal is aligned with the clock signal at the receiving device. This delay is then used during device operation to delay a signal that clocks registers providing the DQ/DQS signals. Each DQ/DQS group can be aligned to the clock, or the DQS and DQ signals in a group may be independently aligned to the clock at the receiving device.

    摘要: Integrated circuits may include memory interface circuitry operable to communicate with system memory. The memory interface circuitry may receive data and data strobe signals from system memory during read operations. The memory interface circuitry may include de-skew circuitry and dynamic variation compensation circuitry. The de-skew circuitry may be configured during calibration procedures to reduce skew between the data and data strobe signals. The dynamic variation compensation circuitry may be used in real time to compensate for variations in operating conditions. The dynamic variation compensation circuitry may include a phase generation circuit operable to generate data strobe signals having different phases, an edge detection circuit operable to detect leading/trailing edge failures, a control circuit operable to control a counter, and an adjustable delay circuit that is controlled by the counter and that is operable to properly position the data signal with respect to its corresponding data strobe signal.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for providing either high-speed, or lower-speed, flexible inputs and outputs. An input and output structure having a high-speed input, a high-speed output, a low or moderate speed input, and an low or moderate speed output is provided. One of the input and output circuits are selected and the others are deselected. The high-speed input and output circuits are comparatively simple, in one example having only a clear signal for a control line input, and are able to interface to lower speed circuitry inside the core of an integrated circuit. The low or moderate speed input and output circuits are more flexible, for example, having preset, enable, and clear as control line inputs, and are able to support JTAG boundary testing. These parallel high and lower speed circuits are user selectable such that the input output structure is optimized between speed and functionality depending on the requirements of the application.

    摘要: A programmable memory interface circuit includes a programmable DLL delay chain, a phase offset control circuit and a programmable DQS delay chain. The DLL delay chain uses a set of serially connected delay cells, a programmable switch, a phase detector and a digital counter to generate a coarse phase shift control setting. The coarse phase shift control setting is then used to pre-compute a static residual phase shift control setting or generate a dynamic residual phase shift control setting, one of which is chosen by the phase offset control circuit to be added to or subtracted from the coarse phase shift control setting to generate a fine phase shift control setting. The coarse and fine phase shift control settings work in concert to generate a phase-delayed DQS signal that is center-aligned to its associated DQ signals.
