  • Publication number: 20240055042
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for improved memory control are provided. A circuit can include controller circuitry configured to determine, based on a speed of silicon of a memory, a read strobe code that adjusts a data clock to account for a difference between a reference clock and a data clock in terms of a number of unit intervals (UIs) and a read strobe code, a receive delay locked loop to receive the difference and delay the data clock by the number of UI and read strobe codes resulting in a delayed data clock, and a sampling amplifier to sample data from the memory based on the delayed data clock.

  • Patent number: 7653165
    Abstract: A system and method for encoding and receiving data is provided. The data is encoded as a pulse amplitude modulated signal such that the amplitude signals do not transition from the highest signal level to the lowest signal level and do not transition from the lowest signal level to the highest signal level. The encoding and decoding is performed in some embodiments via a lookup table, and in further embodiments is designed to minimize the step between sequential pulse amplitude modulated symbols.

  • Patent number: 7620134
    Abstract: A circuit to synchronize the phase of a distributed clock signal to a received clock signal. Embodiments include a control loop comprising a phase interpolator, a clock distribution network, and a data receiver. The clock distribution network provides a sampling clock signal to clock the data receiver. The data receiver receives as its input the received clock signal. Control logic maps a subset of the output samples to a value, and this value is added to the phase introduced by the phase interpolator to provide an updated phase. Embodiments include a second phase interpolator and a second distribution network to clock a second data receiver, where the second data receiver receives the data. The control logic adjusts the second phase interpolator in the same way that it adjusts the phase interpolator. The two data receivers are matched to each other, and the two clock distribution networks are matched to each other. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 7545194
    Abstract: A method, circuit, and system are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving a differential clock signal from two clock signal lines into a first differential pair of transistors of a first size, receiving the differential clock signal from the two clock signal lines into a second differential pair of transistors of a size smaller than the first size, converting the differential clock signal into a single-ended clock signal, outputting the single-ended clock signal through an inverter, and synchronizing any differential clock phase error by controlling the transconductance between the first differential pair of transistors and the second differential pair of transistors.

  • Patent number: 7439788
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes clock deskew circuitry. The deskew circuitry includes multiple loop circuits to align a received clock with a data eye, and to reduce the effects of clock drift caused by voltage and temperature variations. The loop circuits include phase interpolators to produce local clock signals. Local clock signals are provided to seqiuential elements through local clock trees and are also provided to a phase detector through a dummy local clock tree. The operation of the phase interpolators is influenced by the phase detector.
