20150364170 | DISTRIBUTED CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION - A memory controller is provided that drives data and a corresponding first data strobe to a plurality of endpoints. Each endpoint is configured to register the received data from the memory controller responsive to the first data strobe and then to re-register the received data responsive to a second data strobe. A clock synchronization circuit functions to keep the received first data strobe at one of the endpoints sufficiently synchronous with the second data strobe. | 2015-12-17 |
20150364171 | SOURCE-SYNCHRONOUS DATA TRANSMISSION WITH NON-UNIFORM INTERFACE TOPOLOGY - A source-synchronous system is provided in which a non-uniform interface may exist in a data source endpoint as well as in a data sink endpoint. | 2015-12-17 |
20150364172 | SEMICONDUCTOR APPARATUS CONFIGURED TO MANAGE AN OPERATION TIMING MARGIN - A semiconductor apparatus may include a read path configured to transmit data from the semiconductor apparatus in response to a read command and at least one read operation control signal, and an operation control circuit configured to receive a plurality of divided clock signals and the read command to identify the one of the plurality of divided clock signals that is relatively better matched to the received read command to manage timings associated with at least one of the read operation control signals. | 2015-12-17 |
