  • Publication number: 20150194196
    Abstract: A memory control system has an SDRAM device, a memory controller, a loading monitoring unit and a memory physical module. The SDRAM device has a plurality of SDRAM cells for storing data. The loading monitoring unit detects workload of a memory interface of the SDRAM device. The memory controller switches an operation condition of the memory system from a first condition to a second condition when the detected workload satisfies at least one predetermined criterion. The memory physical module is coupled between the SDRAM device and the memory controller and has an interface timing calibration circuit configured to adjust timing of signals of the memory interface such that the signals are adjusted in best timing location and data are captured with a great timing margin.

  • Patent number: 8392768
    Abstract: In a memory test system with advance features for completed memory system, the hardware components are independently configured to generate versatile test patterns for performing a programmable-loading test, a real case test, and a write-feedback test. The write-feedback test is employed to independently test a memory controller which is embedded in an integrated circuit without communicating with the external SDRAM. In the integrated circuit verification stage, the memory test system supports for analyzing and distinguishing the problems inside or outside of the integrated circuit, and testing individual write and read commands.

  • Patent number: 8208321
    Abstract: An apparatus for data strobe and timing variation detection of an SDRAM interface includes a differential-signal to single-end signal converter, a first phase delay circuit, a data latch circuit. The differential-signal to single-end signal converter receives a differential data strobe signal from the SDRAM interface and converts the signal into a single-end data strobe signal. The first phase delay circuit is connected to the differential-signal to single-end signal converter to delay the phase of the single-end data strobe signal for producing a delayed data strobe signal. The data latch circuit is connected to the phase delay circuit to latch synchronous data from the SDRAM interface according to the delayed single-end data strobe signal.

  • Patent number: 7454574
    Abstract: A pre-fetch control method comprises the following steps. First, after a data request for M-bytes request data sent from a cache controller is received, a determination is made on whether the M-bytes request data are found in the pre-fetch buffer. Then, a further determination is made on whether a combined access control is enabled if the M-bytes request data are not found in the pre-fetch buffer. If the combined access is not enabled, a data request for the M-bytes request data is sent out to an external unit. If the combined access control is enabled, a data request for the M-bytes request data and n*M-bytes extra data is sent out to an external unit. The n*M-bytes extra data is stored in the pre-fetch buffer.

  • Publication number: 20050015574
    Abstract: A processor and method capable of executing instruction sets with different lengths is disclosed. The instruction sets include at least an N-bit instruction set and a 2N-bit instruction set. The 2N-bit instruction set includes an instruction set switch instruction (ISSI-2N-N). The N-bit instruction set includes an instruction set switch instruction (ISSI-N-2N). When the ISSI-2N-N is fetched, an instruction decoding device and an instruction executing device are switched to an N-bit mode. When the ISSI-N-2N is fetched, the instruction decoding device and the instruction executing device are switched to a 2N-bit mode. In the N-bit mode, the instruction decoding device decodes a fetched 2N bit word as two N-bit instructions and the instruction executing device executes the two decoded N-bit instructions. In the 2N-bit mode, the instruction decoding device decodes a fetched 2N bit word as a 2N-bit instruction and the instruction executing device executes the decoded 2N-bit instruction.
