    摘要: A method provides improved signal quality in a computer memory system. In one embodiment, a digital signal is generated having a voltage interpreted with respect to a reference voltage. The reference voltage is dynamically adjusted as a function of the traffic intensity at which the digital signal is directed to a particular receiver. A training phase may be performed for each DIMM of the memory system, to construct a lookup table correlating suitable reference voltages with different traffic intensities. The lookup table may be referenced during a subsequent execution phase, to dynamically select a reference voltage according to changing traffic intensity. The dynamically selected reference voltage value may be enforced by using transistors to selectively recruit resistors of a resistor network.

    摘要: A programmable diagnostic memory module provides enhanced testability of memory controller and memory subsystem design. The programmable diagnostic memory module includes an interface for communicating with an external diagnostic system, and the interface is used to transfer commands to the memory module to alter various behaviors of the memory module. The altered behaviors may be changing data streams that are written to the memory module to simulate errors, altering the timing and/or loading of the memory module signals, downloading programs for execution by a processor core within the memory module, changing driver strengths of output signals of the memory module, and manipulating in an analog domain, signals at terminals of the memory module such as injecting noise on power supply connections to the memory module. The memory module may emulate multiple selectable memory module types, and may include a complete storage array to provide standard memory module operation.

    摘要: The key limiter in a multi-drop system, such as a multi-drop memory system, is the super-positioning of reflection noise from multiple modules or pluggable units, such as DIMMs. Using the noise cancellation approach of the present invention, the noise is distributed across the width of the pulse thus significantly reducing the impact of noise super-positioning. Use of the system of the present invention provides improved noise margins and is a key enabler of high performance, high speed bus, particularly at higher bit rates, as well as an enabler for higher capacity modules, such as DIMMs. The system provides for electrical traces from each of the modules of varying lengths thereby distributing the noise reflections.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for dynamic phase equalization in a communication channel. A transmitter history module stores a plurality of bits from a data stream that is transmitted through the communication channel. A transmitter detection module detects a pre-transition bit of a first value that is preceded in the data stream by at least one bit of the first value and followed by a transition bit with a second value. A driver module transmits the data stream by driving the communication channel. A transition module pre-drives the communication channel to the second voltage of the transition bit during a bit time interval of the pre-transition bit.
