Abstract: Embodiments of an integrated circuit (IC) comprising a delay-locked loop (DLL) are described. Some embodiments include first circuitry to generate a first clock signal by delaying an input clock signal by a first delay, second circuitry to determine a code based on the input clock signal and the first clock signal, and third circuitry to produce an output clock signal based on the input clock signal and the code. In some embodiments, the power consumption of the DLL circuitry is reduced by powering down at least some parts of the DLL circuitry for most of the time. In some embodiments, the clock signal that is used to clock the command-and-address circuitry of a memory device is used to clock the on-die-termination latency counter circuitry.

Abstract: An integrated circuit device includes an output driver having a data signal terminal, logic circuitry, and a driver circuit coupled to the logic circuitry and data signal terminal. The driver circuit is configured to drive a signal corresponding to a symbol onto the data signal terminal, wherein the symbol is an N-bit symbol, having one of 2N predefined values, N is an integer greater than 1, and the signal corresponding to the symbol has one of 2N signal levels. The driver circuit includes first, second and third driver sub-circuits, each driven by an input corresponding to one or more bits of the N-bit symbol, wherein the second and third driver sub-circuits are weighted, relative to the first driver sub-circuit, to reduce gds distortion in the signal.

Abstract: An integrated circuit device includes a sense amplifier with an input to receive a present signal representing a present bit. The sense amplifier is to produce a decision regarding a logic level of the present bit. The integrated circuit device also includes a circuit to precharge the input of the sense amplifier by applying to the input of the sense amplifier a portion of a previous signal representing a previous bit. The integrated circuit device further includes a latch, coupled to the sense amplifier, to output the logic level.
