Abstract: A system comprising a storage location to store information representing a timing parameter pertaining to a random access memory device. An integrated circuit device generates a value that is representative of a period of time that elapses between the random access memory device exiting from a power down mode and a time at which the random access memory device is capable of receiving a command. The integrated circuit device generates the value from the information representing the timing parameter pertaining to the random access memory device.

Abstract: A memory device including an array of memory cells, and a register circuit to store a value representative of a period of time to elapse before the memory device is ready to receive a command when recovering from a power down mode is provided in an embodiment. The command specifies an access to the array of memory cells. A delay lock loop circuit synchronizes data transfers using an external clock signal. The delay lock loop circuit reacquires synchronization with the external clock signal during the period of time.

Abstract: A memory module comprises a memory device including a memory array to store data. An interface receives an instruction to exit a power down mode. A register stores a value representative of a period of time to elapse between exiting from the power down mode and a time at which the memory device is capable of receiving a command to access the data. A storage device stores a plurality of parameter information that pertains to the memory device. The value is based on at least a first parameter information of the plurality of parameter information.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for initializing dynamic random access memory (DRAM) devices is provided wherein a channel is levelized by determining the response time of each of a number of DRAM devices coupled to a bus. Determining the response time for a DRAM device comprises writing logic ones to a memory location of the DRAM device using the bus. Subsequently, a read command is issued over the bus, wherein the read command is addressed to the newly-written memory location of the DRAM device. The memory controller then measures the elapsed time between the issuance of the read command and the receipt of the logic ones from the DRAM device, and this elapsed time is the response time of the DRAM device. Following the determination of a response time for each DRAM device, and using the longest response time, a delay is computed for each of the DRAM devices coupled to the bus so that the response time, in clock cycles, of each of the DRAM devices coupled to the bus equals the longest response time.
