  • Transceiver with latency alignment circuitry
    Patent number: 8458426
    Abstract: In a transceiver system a first interface receives data from a first channel using a first clock signal and transmits data to the first channel using a second clock signal. A second interface receives data from a second channel using a third clock signal and transmits data to the second channel using a fourth clock signal. A re-timer re-times data received from the first channel using the first clock signal and retransmits the data to the second channel using the fourth clock signal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 19, 2007
    Date of Patent: June 4, 2013
    Assignee: Rambus Inc.
    Inventors: Kevin Donnelly, Mark Johnson, Chanh Tran, Nancy D. Dillon

  • Transceiver with latency alignment circuitry
    Patent number: 7124270
    Abstract: A transceiver device comprises a transmitter to transmit signals over a plurality of conductors to a memory device. An interface receives control information from a serial communication path coupled to a controller device. The control information is provided to the memory device as the signals using the transmitter. A register stores a control parameter that specifies a drive strength adjustment to the signals to transmit over the plurality of conductors to the memory device using the transmitter.

  • Transceiver with latency alignment circuitry
    Patent number: 7065622
    Abstract: A transceiver comprises a first interface to receive a first signal, through a first channel, from a memory device. A transmitter transmits a second signal that represents the first signal, through a second channel, to a master device. A plurality of registers stores a plurality of values provided by the master device. The plurality of values includes a first value that specifies a transmit timing adjustment to the second signal to transmit to the master device by the transmitter.
