Abstract
A methodology and structure for a encoding a data stat signal in the data lock signal, e.g., the data strobe signal such as DBQ. The data strobe signal can maintain the clock continuity, e.g., the rise and fall edges are at the timing signal, and the data inversion can be based on the amplitude of the data strobe signal. This allows the data set on the data lines, e.g., D-D, to either be non-inverted or inverted, to save power consumed in the memory device.
