摘要： An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to integrate data for a source synchronous protocol. A delay generator generates at least an integrating strobe from a data strobe synchronizing a data having a data window using the source synchronous protocol. A pulse generator generates a pulse from the at least integrating strobe. An integrating receiver integrates the data over an integration window defined by the pulse. The integration window is within the data window.

摘要： In one embodiment, a pre-driver generates pre-driving signals based on control signals provided by a control circuit. The pre-driver has pre-driver power and ground connections. The pre-driving signals operate at a frequency band. A driver generates an output signal based on the pre-driving signals at an output pad. The output signal has a slew rate. The driver has driver power and ground connections. A low pass filter is coupled between the pre-driver and the driver power and ground connections to reduce the effect of noise at the pre-driving signals. The low pass filter has a cut-off frequency corresponding to the frequency of noise. In another embodiment, a plurality of pre-drivers generates pre-driving signals based on control signals provided by a control circuit. The pre-drivers have pre-driver power and ground connections. A plurality of drivers generates a plurality of output signals based on the pre-driving signals at output pads of an integrated circuit. Each of the output signals has a slew rate. The drivers have driver power and ground connections. On-die pre-driver power and ground planes are coupled to the pre-driver power and ground connections on die of the integrated circuit, respectively. On-die driver power and ground planes are coupled to the driver power and ground connections on-die of the integrated circuit, respectively. The driver power and ground planes are separated from the pre-driver power and ground planes on the die, and/or on the package to maintain the desired slew rate.

摘要： To allow a memory controller to synchronize strobe to clock relationship for a DRAM, a register, such as, a flip flop, is incorporated within the DRAM to facilitate the sampling of SCLK with DQS. Likewise, while the DRAM is in a test mode of operation, the memory controller advances or retards the clock to DQS at the memory controller hub (MCH) to achieve the proper DRAM relationship. In one embodiment, the memory controller advances DQS if a binary zero value is read. In contrast, the memory controller retards DQS if a binary one value is read.

摘要翻译： 为了允许存储器控制器将选通脉冲与DRAM的时钟关系同步，诸如触发器的寄存器被并入DRAM内以便于利用DQS对SCLK进行采样。 同样，当DRAM处于测试操作模式时，存储器控制器将时钟提前或延迟到存储器控制器集线器（MCH）处的DQS以实现适当的DRAM关系。 在一个实施例中，如果读取二进制零值，则存储器控制器提前DQS。 相比之下，如果读取二进制一个值，则内存控制器会阻止DQS。
