Abstract

Data paths (and) can be configured to accommodate two or four burst data sequences, with a data value being input/output each half clock cycle. A data sequence can be a fixed order or user-defined order depending upon a selected option. A data input path () can reduce power consumption with an enable signal (dinen) timed to activate after data input lines have settled values. A data output path () can access output data in a parallel fashion for subsequent output according to a burst sequence. Cycle latencies for such output data can include one clock cycle latency or one and a half-clock cycles. A data output path () can also accommodate various clocking modes, including: single clocking with a delay locked loop (DLL) type circuit enabled, single clocking with a delay locked loop (DLL) type circuit disabled, and double clocking, with a phase difference between an input clock and output clock of up to 180°.
