    摘要: A delay-locked loop adjusts a delay of a clock signal that is generated in response to an external clock signal. The clock signal is applied to an output buffer to clock the buffer so that data or clock signals from the buffer are synchronized with the external clock signal. The output buffer operates in a full-drive and reduced-drive mode in response to an output drive strength bit having first and second logic states, respectively. The delay-locked loop adjusts the delay of the clock signal in response to the state of the output drive strength bit to keep the data or clock signals from the buffer synchronized during both modes of operation.

    摘要: Some embodiments include methods of forming isolation structures. A semiconductor base may be provided to have a crystalline semiconductor material projection between a pair of openings. SOD material (such as, for example, polysilazane) may be flowed within said openings to fill the openings. After the openings are filled with the SOD material, one or more dopant species may be implanted into the projection to amorphize the crystalline semiconductor material within an upper portion of said projection. The SOD material may then be annealed at a temperature of at least about 400° C. to form isolation structures. Some embodiments include semiconductor constructions that include a semiconductor material base having a projection between a pair of openings. The projection may have an upper region over a lower region, with the upper region being at least 75% amorphous, and with the lower region being entirely crystalline.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for improving output skew across the data bus of a synchronous integrated circuit device. The device includes a clock input buffer that receives a system clock signal and generates a buffered clock signal, a delay line that receives the buffered clock signal and generates a delayed clock signal, and an output circuit including output signal paths for outputting the output signals synchronously with the system clock signal by using the delayed clock signal. At least one of the output signal paths includes a delay circuit and an output buffer. Each delay circuit provides a programmable delay to the delayed clock signal to generate a unique delayed clock signal used to clock an output signal into the respective output buffer. By programming the delays based upon output skew, the output skew can be improved.

    摘要: A timing control circuit includes a synchronization circuit and a detection circuit. The synchronization circuit includes a main delay line configured to receive an input clock signal and delay the input clock signal by a time interval to generate an output clock signal and a control circuit configured to control the main delay line to vary the time interval to synchronize the input clock signal with a feedback clock signal generated from the output clock signal responsive to assertion of an enable signal. The detection circuit is configured to receive the input clock signal and the feedback clock signal, detect a phase alignment error between the input clock signal and the feedback clock signal, and assert the enable signal responsive to the phase alignment error exceeding a predetermined amount. A method for synchronizing clock signals includes receiving an input clock signal; delaying the input clock signal by a time interval to generate an output clock signal; controlling the time interval to synchronize the input clock signal with a feedback clock signal generated from the output clock signal responsive to assertion of an enable signal; detecting a phase alignment error between the input clock signal and the feedback clock signal; and asserting the enable signal responsive to the phase alignment error exceeding a predetermined amount.
