    Abstract: An integrated circuit may include a memory controller circuit for communicating with an off-chip memory device. The memory controller is operable in a read-write major mode that is capable of dynamically adapting to any memory traffic pattern, which results in improved memory scheduling efficiency across different user applications. The memory controller may include at least a write command queue, a read command queue, an arbiter, and a command scheduler. The command scheduler may monitor a write command count, a read command count, a write stall count, and a read stall count to determine whether to dynamically adjust a read burst threshold setting and a write burst threshold setting.

    Abstract: A circuit system includes an interposer that has a first clock network and first and second integrated circuit dies that are mounted on the interposer. The first integrated circuit die includes a phase detector circuit, an adjustable delay circuit that generates a second clock signal in response to a first clock signal received from the first clock network, and a second clock network that generates a third clock signal in response to the second clock signal. The second integrated circuit die comprises a third clock network that generates a fourth clock signal in response to the first clock signal received from the first clock network. The phase detector circuit controls a delay provided by the adjustable delay circuit to the second clock signal based on a phase comparison between phases of the third and fourth clock signals.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit may include integrated memory that is formed from a chain of memory blocks. Each memory block may have configurable input and output circuits. The configurable input and output circuits may be interposed between memory circuitry such as a memory array from circuitry external to the memory circuitry. The configurable input and output circuits may have upstream and downstream memory block connection ports. In such a way, configurable input and output circuits in a first memory block may pass control and address signals and data to configurable input and output circuits in a second memory block. By using the configurable input and output circuits, the integrated memory in the integrated circuit may operate to accommodate large bandwidth flows without using the general routing fabric of the integrated circuit.
