    摘要: A method for generating a read enable signal which is for controlling reading of a pair of data strobe signals and a data signal in a memory system is provided. The method comprises: detecting whether the pair of data strobe signals are both high or low; and generating the read enable signal if the pair of data strobe signals are detected being both high or low. Because the read enable signal is generated using the pair of strobe signals, DLL can be turned off, thus the power consumption of the memory system can be reduced. In addition, the read enable signal is self-aligned with a certain point of the pair of strobe signals, this may enhance precision of the transmission of the pair of strobe signals and the data signal.

    摘要: Systems and methods to distribute clock signals using a common bus. In one embodiment, a clock signal distribution system includes: a bus; a transmitter coupled to the bus to drive a clock signal onto the bus; and one or more receivers coupled to the bus to receive the clock signal, in which the impedance of each receiver is lower than 1000 ohms (or 500 or 200 ohms). In one embodiment, the clock distribution system is on an integrated circuit to distribute the clock on the integrated circuit chip. In one embodiment, the receivers are self-biased; a bias current of the transmitter is a dynamic sum of bias currents of the receivers; and, each of the receivers has a duty cycle correction mechanism. In one embodiment, there is no inductor between the transmitter and the low impedance receiver in the clock distribution system; and the bus has no terminator.

    摘要: A data and clock recovery circuit having a retimer mode and a resync mode. In one embodiment, a receiver circuit includes: a retimer; a clock recovery circuit to provide a clock signal to the retimer; and an adjustable delay to provide a delayed version of an input signal to the retimer. When in a resync mode, the adjustable delay causes a pre-selected delay in the input signal and the clock recovery circuit dynamically selects a clock phase to generate the clock signal. When in a second mode, the adjustable delay dynamically adjusts the delayed version of the input signal and the clock recovery circuit outputs the clock signal having a pre-selected clock phase.
