Digitally-controlled DLL and I/O circuits for 500 Mb/s/pin /spl times/16 DDR SDRAM

摘要

DLL and improved I/O circuits are for 500 Mb/s/pin DDR SDRAM. This digitally-controlled DLL has inherent duty cycle correction capability, enabling fast re-locking upon standby-mode exit. Data input circuits, such as internal delay control and digital sense amplifier, reduce setup/hold window to 0.3 ns. The output data driver has 62% decreased pattern-dependent skew.
