  • Publication number: 20240361799
    Abstract: A memory system in which a timing drift that would occur in distribution of a first timing signal for data transport in a memory device is determined by measuring the actual phase delays occurring in a second timing signal that has a frequency lower than that of the first timing signal and is distributed in one or more circuits mimicking the drift characteristics of at least a portion of distribution of the first timing signal. The actual phase delays are determined in the memory device and provided to a memory controller so that the phases of the timing signals used for data transport may be adjusted based on the determined timing drift.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and a method for generating a plurality of control signals for multi-die applications. In particular, the invention relates to the generation of synchronized control signals generated by independent dies having an own local clock and provided with a common clock. In a first step, in each die, the period of the common clock signal is measured using a TDC. In further steps, in each die, a respective phase shift is evaluated and applied between the rising edge of the common clock signal and each of the rising edges of the output control signals, using delay unit.

  • Publication number: 20240361804
    Abstract: A computer docking station devised to operate in different manufacturer-configured modes is disclosed. In Split Dock Mode, the computer docking station utilizes a lower dock subassembly (LDS) positioned beneath the work surface for connection to cables infrequently disconnected during normal operation and an upper dock subassembly (UDS) comprising one or more data ports positioned on top of the work surface. In Hub Mode, the UDS functions alone to provide a data hub. In Charging Mode, the UDS functions alone to provide charging ports only, with no data-transfer capability. In Dock Mode, the LDS functions alone to provide a docking station. This design allows manufacturers to sell different configurations without having to keep a stock of multiple different pieces of hardware-only a small change to a single resistor in the UDS's PCBA is necessary to change the UDS from Hub/Split Dock Mode to Charging Mode.
