    摘要: A programmable memory interface circuit includes a programmable DLL delay chain, a phase offset control circuit and a programmable DQS delay chain. The DLL delay chain uses a set of serially connected delay cells, a programmable switch, a phase detector and a digital counter to generate a coarse phase shift control setting. The coarse phase shift control setting is then used to pre-compute a static residual phase shift control setting or generate a dynamic residual phase shift control setting, one of which is chosen by the phase offset control circuit to be added to or subtracted from the coarse phase shift control setting to generate a fine phase shift control setting. The coarse and fine phase shift control settings work in concert to generate a phase-delayed DQS signal that is center-aligned to its associated DQ signals.

    摘要: Techniques are provided for recycling addresses in memory blocks. Address signals in memory blocks are stored temporarily in a set of parallel coupled address registers. The address registers transfer the address signals to an address decoder block, which decodes the address signals. The address decoder block transfers the decoded addresses to a memory array. A stall state occurs when the cache memory block needs a new set of data to replace the old set of data. Address signals are stored in the address registers during the stall state by coupling each register's output to its data input using a series of multiplexers. The multiplexers are controlled by an address stall signal that indicates the onset and the end of a stall state. After the end of a stall state, the address registers store the next address signal received at the memory block.

    摘要: A switch circuit selectively provides a reference voltage, needed in some I/O standards, to a logic device. The circuit receives a dedicated power supply that is different from the device's I/O supply. It may also include a level shifting circuit for converting a master control signal having a logic level determined by a first supply to a first control signal having a logic level determined by the dedicated supply. The switch circuit also includes a transmission switch that passes the reference voltage to an output in response to at least the first control signal. The transmission switch may be a CMOS transmission gate with at least one NMOS transistor controlled by the first control signal in parallel with at least one PMOS transistor controlled by a second control signal, complementary to the first. The second control signal may be generated by another level shifting circuit and have a logic level determined by the I/O supply.
