    摘要: A memory controller is configured to perform one or more write-read-validate operations to calibrate a clock-cycle relationship between the data-strobe signal and the clock signal, wherein the write-read-validate operations involve varying a delay on the data-strobe signal relative to the clock signal by a multiple of a clock period. The phase detector on the memory chip receives signals including a clock signal, a marking signal and a data-strobe signal from the memory controller, wherein the marking signal includes a pulse which marks a specific clock cycle in the clock signal. The phase detector uses the marking signal to window the specific clock cycle in the clock signal, and to use the data-strobe signal to capture the windowed clock signal, thereby creating a feedback signal which is returned to the memory controller to facilitate calibration of the timing relationship.

    摘要: The read latency of a plurality of memory devices in a high speed synchronous memory subsystem is equalized through the use of at least one flag signal. The flag signal has equivalent signal propagation characteristics read clock signal, thereby automatically compensating for the effect of signal propagation. After detecting the flag signal, a memory device will begin outputting data associated with a previously received read command in a predetermined number of clock cycles. For each of the flag signal, the memory controller, at system initialization, determines the required delay between issuing a read command and issuing the flag signal to equalize the system read latencies. The delay(s) are then applied to read transactions during regular operation of the memory system.

    摘要: The 6-transistor storage cell consists of two regenerative inverters (MN5, MP3; MN6, MP4) connected via a selector transistor (MN1, MN2) controlled by a word line (WL, WLS) to a bit line (BL, BLQ). When data are entered in the storage cell, both selector transistors are conductively driven. Only the first selector transistor (MN1) is conductively driven on the read-out of the content of the cell, while the other remains blocked. Thus, on read-out, only one bit line (BL) is reverse-charged.

    摘要: A memory device includes a first memory bank and a second memory bank, each memory bank having at least one subarray of memory cells. Multiple sense amplifiers are coupled to both the first memory bank and the second memory bank. The multiple sense amplifiers are configured for use by both the first memory bank and the second memory bank, but not simultaneously. A control mechanism is used to avoid accessing the first memory bank and the second memory bank simultaneously. The sharing of sense amplifiers between memory banks minimizes the die area penalty caused by additional memory banks.

    摘要: A memory system includes a memory controller coupled to multiple memory devices. Each memory device includes an oscillator that generates an internal reference signal that oscillates at a frequency that is a function of physical device structures within the memory device. The frequencies of the internal reference signals are thus device specific. Each memory device develops a shared reference signal from its internal reference signal and communicates the shared reference signal to the common memory controller. The memory controller uses the shared reference signals to recover device-specific frequency information from each memory device, and then communicates with each memory device at a frequency compatible with the corresponding internal reference signal.

    摘要: A sense margin is improved for a read path in a memory array. Embodiments improve the sense margin by using gates with a lower threshold voltage (401,402) in a read column multiplexer. A cross coupled keeper (404) can further improve the sense margin by increasing a voltage level on a bit line storing a high value, thereby counteracting leakage on the "high" bit line.
