  • APPARATUS INCLUDING MEMORY SYSTEM CONTROLLERS AND RELATED METHODS
    Publication number: 20140189163
    Abstract: Memory system controllers can include a host bus adapter (HBA) and a serial advanced technology attachment (SA) programming compliant device coupled to the HBA via a function-specific interconnect configured to simultaneously transfer a command, a response, and other information between the HBA and the SA programming compliant device.
    Type: Application

  • System and method for testing write strobe timing margins in memory devices
    Patent number: 7284169
    Abstract: Write strobe preamble/postamble test circuitry includes a test signal generator generating first and second digital signals. Also included are a pair of phase interpolators for varying the transition times of respective transmitter clock signals. When enabled, a transmitter uses the transmitter clock signals to transmit a write data strobe signal corresponding to the first and second digital signals to memory devices being tested. The transmitter is enabled by an enable signal generated by a third phase interpolator. By varying the timing of the enable signal, the third phase interpolator can vary the duration of preambles and postambles of respective write data strobe signals.
