Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method is provided for relaying data to a memory array operating in synchronization with a clock signal having a first transition edge. A data strobe signal having a second transition edge corresponding to the first transition edge is provided. A first signal is provided. The data is latched into the first signal at a first time point lagged behind the first transition edge by a first time interval until a second time point in response to the first transition edge for relaying the data of the first signal to the memory array when the second transition edge appears earlier than the first transition edge.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for relaying data to a memory array operating in synchronization with a clock signal having a first transition edge, comprising steps of: providing a data strobe signal having a second transition edge corresponding to the first transition edge; providing a first signal; and latching the data into the first signal at a first time point lagged behind the first transition edge by a first time interval until a second time point in response to the fi…
