  • Publication number: 20240134410
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a memory access interface device. A clock generation circuit generates reference signals. A transmitter transmits an output command and address signal to a memory device according to the reference signals. A signal training circuit executes a training process in a training mode that includes steps outlined below. A training signal is generated such that the training signal is transmitted as the output command and address signal. The training signal and the data signal generated by the memory device are compared to generate a comparison result indicating whether the data signal matches the training signal. The comparison result is stored. The clock generation circuit is controlled to modify a phase of at least one of the reference signals to be one of a plurality of under-test phases to execute a new loop of the training process until all the under-test phases are trained.

  • Publication number: 20240135999
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a memory access interface device. A clock generation circuit generates reference clock signals. Each of access signal transmission circuits each includes a duty cycle adjusting circuit, a duty cycle detection circuit, a frequency division circuit and an asynchronous first-in-first-out circuit. The duty cycle adjusting circuit performs duty cycle adjustment on one of the reference clock signals according to a duty cycle detection signal to generate an output clock signal having a duty cycle. The duty cycle detection circuit detects a variation of the duty cycle to generate the duty cycle detection signal. The frequency division circuit divides a frequency of the output clock signal to generate a read clock signal. The asynchronous first-in-first-out circuit receives an access signal from a memory access controller and outputs an output access signal according to the read clock signal to access the memory device accordingly.

  • Patent number: 7891083
    Abstract: An assembling apparatus is disclosed. The assembling apparatus includes a base, an assembling platform, and a driving part. The assembling platform and the driving part are fixed on the base. The assembling platform defines a receiving space for receiving a semiconductor chip module, a lever chamber for receiving clips of the semiconductor chip module, and a driving groove for connecting the receiving space and the lever chamber. The assembling platform further includes a lever bar removably placed in the lever chamber for expanding the clips. The driving part includes driving shafts. An end of each of the driving shafts is in the driving groove and is movable to pass through the lever chamber and reaches the receiving space. The assembling apparatus is used to assemble a semiconductor chip module conveniently and safely.

  • Patent number: 7310786
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) layout includes an arrangement of instances of cells, wherein each cell describes a separate corresponding electronic device to be incorporated into the IC. An internal layout of each cell includes one or more objects corresponding to portions of IC material that are to form the corresponding electronic device, and the shape and position of each object within the cell layout represents the shape and position of the corresponding portion of IC material within the corresponding electronic device. When a dimension or position of an object within a cell's internal layout can be altered without affecting the behavior of the electronic device the cell describes, a device rule is created for that cell to indicate any constraint on that object's dimension or relative position. The IC layout is then compacted both by moving cell instances closer together, and also by altering internal layouts of cell instances in a manner consistent with their device rules.
