    摘要: Apparatus and methods are provided for improving data exchanges between electronic devices, such as memory controllers and RLDRAMs. An I/O cell includes a signal pad for transferring a first signal to an electronic device coupled thereto and for receiving a second signal from the electronic device. In one aspect, a duty cycle controller is coupled to the signal pad for balancing a duty cycle of the first signal with respect to a clock signal. In another aspect, dynamic switchable termination is coupled to the signal pad for providing termination impedance when the I/O cell is receiving the second signal.

    摘要: An apparatus comprising an input section, a first delay circuit and a second delay circuit. The input section may be configured to present a first intermediate signal by selecting either (i) an input clock signal or (ii) a feedback of an output signal. The first delay circuit may be configured to generate a second intermediate signal by delaying the first intermediate signal by inserting one of a plurality of fixed delays in response to a first control signal. The second delay circuit may be configured to generate the output signal by delaying the second intermediate signal by inserting a programmable delay in response to a second control signal.

    摘要: A system and method are provided for reducing signal skew. The method includes receiving a netlist having components and connections among the components. Each connection has at least one signal wire. A plurality of net groups is identified, each net group including at least some of the connections and for which equivalent routing is desired. For each net group, the method includes systematically routing connection paths between the components for the connections, each connection path extending between an output of one of the components and an input to at least one other of the components and including at least one path fragment. Routing includes, for at least one of the connections of the net group, routing at least one grounded shielding wire in a routing channel adjacent and parallel to at least one of the path fragments of the connection path.
