Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for clock doubling are described. A clock adjustment circuit may receive as inputs two clock signals that each have the same frequency and different phases and may generate a clock signal with a higher frequency than the two clock signal inputs. A duty cycle monitor may monitor and support correction of a shift in the relative phases of the two input clocks to maintain a consistent duty cycle of the generated higher frequency clock signal. The clock adjustment circuit may reduce the length of a clock tree that is traversed by the higher frequency clock, such as to reduce bias temperature instability degradation or other types of signal degradation.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for providing internal clock signals of different clock frequencies in a semiconductor device are described in the present application. An example apparatus includes a read command buffer and a read data output circuit. The read command buffer buffers a read command responsive to a first clock signal and provides the read command responsive to a second clock signal. The read data output circuit receives a plurality of bits of data in parallel when activated by the read command from the read command buffer, and provides the plurality of bits of data serially responsive to input/output (IO) clock signals. A data clock timing circuit provides the IO clock signals having a first clock frequency in a first mode and having a second clock frequency in a second mode, and further provides the second clock signal having the first clock frequency in the first and second modes.

Abstract: Layouts for data pads on a semiconductor die are disclosed. An apparatus may include circuits, a first edge, a second edge perpendicular to the first edge, a third edge opposite the first edge, and a fourth edge opposite the second edge. The apparatus may also include data pads variously electrically coupled to the circuits. The data pads may include a data pad positioned a first distance from the first edge and a second distance from the second edge. The apparatus may also include dummy data pads electrically isolated from the circuits. The dummy data pads may include a dummy data pad positioned substantially the first distance from the first edge and substantially the second distance from the fourth edge. Associated systems and methods are also disclosed.
