  • Patent number: 10504570
    Abstract: When the same processing as initial training is executed to cope with fluctuation in the timing of a signal, the performance of a semiconductor device utilizing the relevant memory is degraded. A delay adjustment circuit adjusts a delay amount of write data to a memory device. A control circuit sets a delay amount of the delay adjustment circuit. A storage unit stores a delay amount. The control circuit corrects the delay amount stored in the storage unit based on a writing result of write data obtained when the delay amount stored in the storage unit or an amount based on that delay amount is set on the delay adjustment circuit.

  • Publication number: 20180090197
    Abstract: A data signal may not be fetched by using a data strobe signal if the waveform of the data is degraded with an increase in speed. In order to solve this problem, a first selection unit generates a first selection signal that indicates which one of a plurality of lanes Lane0 and Lane1 for transmitting a data signal that is input at a double data rate from the outside, based on a first strobe signal that is input from the outside. A gate unit sorts the data signal into any of the lanes Lane0 and Lane1 to output data signals Data1_0 and Data1_1, based on the first selection signal. Then, a latch unit latches the data signals Data1_0 and Data1_1 output to the lanes and outputs data signals Data2_0 and Data2_1.
