Abstract: A command/address sequence associated with a read/write operation for a memory device utilizes various existing command/address clock signals in a novel way that obviates the need to utilize the I/O bus. As such, the command/address sequence can be performed in parallel with the DIN/DOUT operations, thereby removing the performance bottleneck that would otherwise be caused by the command and address sequencing. The command/address sequence encodes bit information on first and second enable signals and utilizes rising or falling edges of a clock signal to latch the encoded bit information, which can then be decoded to determine corresponding command and address codes. A chip select sequence is also disclosed that enables a memory chip configuration to be employed in which each chip in a package shares a common connection to a controller but does not require hard-coded pins for performing chip select.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for accessing non-volatile memory. An apparatus includes one or more memory die. A memory die includes an array of non-volatile memory cells, a set of ports, and an on-die controller. The set of ports includes a first port and a second port. The first port includes a first plurality of electrical contacts and the second port includes a second plurality of electrical contacts. The on-die controller communicates via the set of ports to receive command and address information and to transfer data for a data operation on the array of non-volatile memory cells. The on-die controller uses the first port and the second port in a first mode and uses the first port without the second port in a second mode. The second mode provides compatibility with an interface of a legacy type of memory die.

Abstract: A duty cycle correction circuit includes an AND/OR logic circuit that reduces duty cycle distortion in a pair of input signals. The AND/OR logic circuit includes a first push-pull circuit configured to generate a first output signal in response to receipt of a first pair of delayed input signals, and a second push-pull circuit configured to generate a second output signal in response to receipt of a second pair of delayed input signals. The first and second push-pull circuits may have matching beta ratios. Additionally, a latch is coupled to output nodes of the first and second push-pull circuits. The latch is configured to maintain magnitude levels at the output nodes during delay offset periods of the first and second pairs of delayed input signals.

Abstract: A duty cycle correction system corrects for duty cycle distortion by measuring average time interval durations of consecutive intervals of an input signal. The system generates complementary ramp signals that have cross-points indicating midpoints of the intervals, and detects those cross-points. An output circuit of the duty cycle correction system generates an output signal that performs rising and falling transitions in response to the detected cross-points.

Abstract: A complementary signal path may include an amplifier circuit configured to receive a pair of complementary input signals and a data alignment circuit configured to output a pair of complementary output signals in response to the pair of complementary input signals. A control circuit may detect duty cycle distortion in the pair of complementary output signals and perform a duty cycle correction process to remove the distortion. To do so, the control circuit may search for target current amounts in response to the duty cycle distortion and inject a control current into the amplifier circuit at the target current amounts.

Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide for reduced power composition during data read operations from memory devices through gating of clock signals based on a bit pattern of data to be read from the memory device. Example devices and methods disclosed herein comprise receiving a command to read data from a memory structure of the memory device and latching a bit pattern of the data from the memory structure to a data register based on the received command. The disclose systems and methods use the bit pattern to generate a clock mask according to similarities between bit values within the bit pattern. When a read enable signal is detected on a read enable interface of the embodiments disclosed herein, the clock mask is gated based on the clock mask, and bit values are latched to an input/output interface of the memory device in accordance with the gated read enable signal.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for calibrating clock signals in an unmatched data input system. In various embodiments, an unmatched data input system uses multi-delay circuits to calibrate a clock signal distributed to various input/outputs in the unmatched data input system. These multi-delay circuits can include coarse delay circuits and fine delay circuits that provide a broad range as well as accurate delay capabilities. Through the use of these multi-delay circuits, the unmatched data input system can optimally align a clock signal with its associated data signal across multiple input/outputs.

Abstract: A correction system is configured to correct for duty cycle distortion and/or cross-point distortion in a pair of sample signals. A slope adjustment circuit is configured to generate a plurality of pairs of intermediate signals according to a plurality of drive strengths. A measurement circuit is configured to measure for duty cycle distortion and/or cross-point distortion, and the slope adjustment circuit is configured to set the plurality of drive strengths based on the measurement. The setting of the drive strengths may reduce certain rising and falling slopes of certain transitions of the plurality of intermediate signals, which in turn may reduce duty cycle distortion and/or cross-point distortion in the sample signals.
