Abstract
A computing system including multiple integrated circuit memory devices is described. One or more command and address buses are connected to the memory devices to transmit command and address signals to each memory device. Multiple clock lines are connected to the multiple memory devices in a tree structure to transmit multiple clock signals to these memory devices. The tree structure allows each distributed clock signal to be individually trained such that the multiple clock signals provide each memory device with a clock signal that is temporally aligned with the command and address signals as received by that memory device.
