Abstract
A memory circuit with glitch-less transfer of timing information. In one embodiment, the invention is a memory circuit including a controller, multiple loads, a command link communicatively coupling the controller and the loads and a data link. The data link includes multiple data clocks and communicatively couples the controller and the multiple loads. In another embodiment, the invention transfers data between a memory controller and a RAM by coupling the controller and the RAM using a data bus and multiple clock lines. The invention transfers a read/write command from the controller to the RAM and then transfers data associated with the read/write command, clocking the data using one of the clock lines.
