20130191558 | CONTINUOUS READ BURST SUPPORT AT HIGH CLOCK RATES - A memory device includes a memory array, an output buffer, an initial latency register, and an output signal. Often times a host device that interfaces with the memory device is clocked at high rate such that data extraction rates of the memory device are not adequate to support a gapless data transfer. The output signal is operable to stall a transmission between the memory device and the host device when data extraction rates from the memory array are not adequate to support output rates of the output buffer. | 07-25-2013 |
20130262907 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR A REDUCED PIN COUNT (RPC) MEMORY BUS INTERFACE INCLUDING A READ DATA STROBE SIGNAL - A method and apparatus for a memory bus interface including a read data strobe. The interface includes a chip select for delivering a chip select signal that indicates when a peripheral device is activated, wherein said bus interface provides communication between a host device and said peripheral device. The interface also includes a differential clock pair for delivering a differential clock signal. A read data strobe is included in the interface for delivering a read data strobe signal from the peripheral device. The interface includes a data bus for delivering command, address, and data information. The read data strobe indicates when valid data is present on the data bus. | 10-03-2013 |
20140365744 | Programmable Latency Count to Achieve Higher Memory Bandwidth - Disclosed herein are system, method and/or computer program product embodiments for increasing memory bandwidth when accessing a plurality of memory devices. An embodiment operates by executing, by at least one processor, a first read operation to read data from a first memory device following an access time for the first memory device. The embodiment further includes executing, by the at least one processor, a second read operation to read data from a second memory device following an access time for the second memory device. The access time for the second memory device is substantially the same or longer than the access time for the first memory device plus a time it takes to read data from the first memory device. | 12-11-2014 |
20150106664 | METHOD FOR PROVIDING READ DATA FLOW CONTROL OR ERROR REPORTING USING A READ DATA STROBE - Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, methods and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for using a read data strobe signal received at a host device from a peripheral device to convey variable latency (flow) control or report an error in the data content read from the peripheral device. Reception of the read data strobe signal before a predetermined maximum latency time, provides variable latency control back to the host by indicating when valid data is available for capture. If the read data strobe signal is not received before expiration of a predetermined maximum latency time, the peripheral controller is indicating a read data error back to the host. | 04-16-2015 |
