Apparatuses, systems, and methods for data timing alignment in stacked memory

Abstract

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for data timing alignment in stacked memory. The memory a number of core dice stacked on an interface die. The core and interface die each include adjustable delay circuits along each of a delay and native path. A state machine operates interface and core aligner control circuits to set values of the delay(s) in the interface and core dice respectively. The state machine may initialize the delays and then enter a maintenance state where averaging is used to determine when to adjust the delay in the core dice. If an overflow or underflow condition is met, the state machine may cycle between adjusting the delay in the interface die and adjusting the delays in the core dice without averaging until the overflow and underflow conditions are no longer met and the maintenance state is returned to.
