    摘要: A memory device includes a delay-locked loop circuit having delay elements and a synchronization circuit coupled to the delay-locked loop circuit. The synchronization circuit receives a synchronization enable signal and outputs a plurality of enable signals, including an enable signal coupled to an output circuit. Because the enable signal is synchronized with the read signal, it is possible to provide more time to read data into the buffer. A method of reading data from a memory device couples a synchronization enable signal and an external clock signal to a synchronization circuit. A read signal and an output enable are generated based upon a synchronization enable signal and a delayed clock signal of the external clock signal. Because the output signal is synchronized to the read signal, more time is allowed for the sense function.

    摘要: A circuit configuration for processing data, particularly a semiconductor memory chip, has a control circuit for setting a phase or frequency relationship between two signals. A digital counter detects a phase or frequency difference between the two signals, and the counter reading is used for regulating the phase or frequency relationship. Trials have shown that the counter reading indicates an operating state in the circuit configuration and therefore represents a simple signal for assessing the operating state of the circuit configuration. Preferably, the counter reading is taken as a basis for adjusting the speed or power of time-critical or performance-critical circuit parts in the circuit configuration so that an operating state with an intermediate switching speed is obtained.

    摘要: A delay adjustment circuit for decreasing a phase shift between a system clock and a feedback clock from a semiconductor's internal clock. The circuit includes a difference-pulse generator that provides an interim clock 180 degrees out of phase with the feedback clock when the feedback clock is leading the system clock, and equal to the feedback clock otherwise. The difference-pulse generator also provides a difference-pulse signal that is at logic high for a period of time by which the system clock and an inversion of the interim clock are phase shifted. The circuit also includes a delay control unit and a delay unit which delay the interim clock by the period of time. The resulting delayed interim clock, which is 180 degrees out of phase with the system clock, is inverted to provide an internal clock in phase with the system clock.
