Abstract
A memory access strobe configuration system and process operable to generate a strobe signal having a selected phase. Based on the strobe signal, a write/read cycle using a first logic value at a memory location of a memory device generates a result logic value. The result logic value provided by the write/read cycle is compared to the first logic value. Where there is a mismatch between the result logic value and the first logic value, the phase of the strobe signal is updated. The process is then repeated using a strobe signal having the updated phase.
Claims18
A memory access strobe configuration process, comprising:
- performing an initial strobe configuration to generate a strobe signal having a particular phase, said strobe signal for accessing a memory;
- counting memory operations associated with said memory;
- and
- performing strobe reconfiguration when the number of memory operations satisfies a predetermined threshold condition, wherein said strobe signal's phase is updated.
A memory access strobe configuration process, comprising:
- performing an initial strobe configuration to generate a strobe signal having a particular phase, said strobe signal for accessing a memory;
- counting read or write operations in said memory;
- and
- performing strobe reconfiguration when the number of read or write operations satisfies a predetermined threshold condition, wherein said strobe signal's phase is updated.
A memory access circuit, the circuit comprising:
- a memory;
- a strobe configuration circuit to generate a strobe signal having a particular phase, said strobe signal for use in accessing said memory;
- and
- a counter for counting read or write operations in said memory;
- wherein said strobe configuration circuit reconfigures said strobe signal when the number of read or write operations counted by said counter satisfies a predetermined threshold condition.
