Abstract
A memory integrated circuit (IC) includes first memory implemented by the memory IC. An operation management module implemented by the memory IC generates first initialization data and stores the first initialization data in the first memory before other data is stored in the first memory. Timing alignment of the memory IC is adjusted based on the first initialization data.
Claims14
A method of operating a memory integrated circuit (IC), comprising:
- providing a first memory on the memory IC;
- using an operation management module to initialize the first memory with first initialization data that is predefined before other data is stored in the first memory;
- and
- adjusting timing alignment for reading the other data from the first memory by comparing the first initialization data to second initialization data stored in a second memory that is not implemented by the memory IC.

A method of operating a memory integrated circuit (IC), comprising:
- providing a first memory on the memory IC;
- initializing the first memory with predefined first initialization data using an operation management module before other data is stored in the first memory;
- and
- storing the predefined first initialization data on a memory control module that is external to the memory IC.
1 more element
A memory integrated circuit (IC), comprising:
- first memory disposed on the memory IC;
- an operation management module configured to initialize the first memory with predefined first initialization data to cause the first memory to be pre-loaded with the first initialization data, the first initialization data being predefined and pre-loaded before other data is stored in the first memory;
- and
- a memory control module external to the memory IC that stores the predefined first initialization data.
