In this paper, an asynchronous memory device that uses internal delay elements to enable memory access pipelining is described. But, the delay elements are responsive to an input load control signal, and are calibrated with reference to periodically received timing pulses.
Abstract
Disclosed herein are embodiments of an asynchronous memory device that use internal delay elements to enable memory access pipelining. In one embodiment, the delay elements are responsive to an input load control signal, and are calibrated with reference to periodically received timing pulses. Different numbers of the delay elements are configured to produce different asynchronous delays and to strobe sequential pipeline elements of the memory device.

Techniques for improved timing control of memory devices

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a memory controller to communicate with a memory device via a communications link, where the memory controller may comprise a memory interface to exchange data with the memory device, the data being encoded such that each M bits of data are represented by at least one symbol and each symbol is associated with a combination of signal levels on a group of n conductors.

Memory module with termination component

TL;DR: In this paper, a memory module with a termination component and three sets of signal lines is presented. But the termination component is not considered in this paper, since it is assumed that a signal propagating on the third set of lines propagates past the first signal line before reaching the second signal line.

SLDRAM: high-performance, open-standard memory

P. Gillingham, +1 more
- 01 Nov 1997 - 
TL;DR: SLDRAM meets the high data bandwidth requirements of emerging processor architectures and retains the low cost of earlier DRAM interface standards, suggesting that SLDRAM will become the mainstream commodity memory of the early 21st century.
