Memory with DQS pulse control circuitry is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a memory device comprises a DQS terminal and circuitry operably coupled to the DQS terminal. The DQS terminal is configured to receive an external DQS signal including a first pulse having a first width. In turn, the circuitry is configured to generate a second pulse based at least in part on the first pulse and output an internal DQS signal including the second pulse. The second pulse can have a second width greater than the first width. In some embodiments, the external DQS signal can further include a third pulse having a third width greater than the second width. In such embodiments, the circuitry can be further configured to generate and output a fourth pulse based at least in part on the third pulse that has a fourth width equivalent to the third width.

Memory with DQS pulse control circuitry, and associated systems, devices, and methods

Techniques for configurable link interfaces for a memory device are described. In some examples, memory devices may require periodic link training to support data transfer with a host device at relatively fast rates. However, in some managed memory applications, memory dies of a memory device may have integrated controllers that do not support such link training, and accordingly may not support some clock rates or data rates. To support data transfers between a host device and a memory device at relatively fast clock rates or data rates without link training, a memory die may be fabricated with a configurable link interface that can support different mappings between components and operation according to different clock rates or data rates. In some examples, a memory die may be fabricated in a manner that supports configurable mappings between an array and a data channel interface that are operable according to different multiplexing and serialization.
