  • Publication number: 20240078173
    Abstract: A training operation may be performed by a memory controller to provide a system clock signal and a data clock signal having a desired temporal (e.g., phase) relationship to one another. The system clock and data clock signals may be provided to a memory. In some examples, the memory controller may provide a command to the memory to put the memory in a training mode. Once in the training mode, the memory controller may provide a write command and toggle the data clock signal a number of times. If the memory provides one output, the memory controller may adjust the relationship between the data clock and system clock signals. If the memory provides another output, the memory controller may maintain the relationship between the data clock and system clock signals and exit the training mode.

  • Publication number: 20240044778
    Abstract: Provided are an inspection method, a program, and an inspection system capable of improving accuracy of inspecting a color of a surface of an object. The inspection method includes acquisition step and comparison step. Acquisition step is a step of acquiring a target image of a surface of an object obtained by an imaging system imaging the surface of the object illuminated by an illumination system. Comparison step, is a step of comparing a color of an attention region on the target image with a color of a reference region. The reference region is a region of a reference image of a surface of a reference object as a reference of a color of the object, and a region corresponding to a combination of an incident angle of light from the illumination system and a reflection angle of light to the imaging system in the attention region.

  • Publication number: 20240038289
    Abstract: A clock generator circuit may generate internal data clock signals, such as quadrature phase clock signals, based at least in part, on one clock signal responsive, at least in part, to another clock signal. In some examples, the internal data clock signals may be generated from a system clock signal responsive to a data clock signal. In some examples, the internal data clock signal may be generated by sampling the system clock signal. In some examples, the sampling may be performed responsive to the data clock signal. In some examples, a latch may latch a state of the system clock signal responsive to the data clock signal. The latch may output the internal data clock signal.

  • Patent number: 11137284
    Abstract: Provided is a position detection sensor. In a first pixel part, as an incident position is closer to a first end of a first pixel pair group in a second direction, an intensity of a first electric signal decreases. In a second pixel part, as the incident position is closer to the first end, an intensity of a second electric signal increases. In a third pixel part, as the incident position is closer to a second end of a second pixel pair group in a first direction, an intensity of a third electric signal decreases. In a fourth pixel part, as the incident position is closer to the second end, an intensity of a fourth electric signal increases. A calculation unit calculates a second position on the basis of the first and second electric signals, and calculates a first position on the basis of the third and fourth electric signals.
