Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A memory controller includes an digitally programmable delay unit having a selectable delay time receiving a read-enable signal and outputting a delayed read-enable signal. The delay time is selected in response to an externally applied delay-control signal. A sampling unit in the memory controller outputs data received from a separate memory, in synchronization with the delayed enable signal. The delay time may be a multiple of the period of a clock signal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A memory controller comprising: a programmable delay unit configured to receive a periodic read-enable signal and to output a delayed periodic read-enable signal having a variable delay time selected in response to a delay-control signal; and a sampling unit configured to output, in synchronization with the delayed periodic read-enable signal, data read out from a memory coupled to the memory controller, wherein the programmable delay unit generates a…
