Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for controlling a memory includes causing a data de-skewer to operate in a writing mode, at the data de-skewer, receiving a first signal, and skewing the first data signal by a first compensation skew, causing the data de-skewer to operate in a reading mode, at the data de-skewer, receiving a second signal, and skewing the second signal by a second compensation skew, wherein the first signal is representative of a bit from a byte that is to be written to the memory, and wherein the second signal is representative of a bit from a byte that has been read from the memory.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
Having described the invention, and a preferred embodiment thereof, what is claimed as new, and secured by Letters Patent is: 1. An apparatus for controlling a memory, said apparatus comprising: a memory controller, and an interface to data lines connecting said memory controller to said memory, wherein each of said data lines carries a signal that corresponds to a bit of a byte that is to be written to said memory, wherein said interface comprises, for each of said data lines, a t…
