Abstract
Disclosed is a method for tuning control signals associated with one or more memory devices. The method includes performing a number of memory access operations on at least one memory device and recording results of the memory access operations. Specifically, the memory access operations are performed with different time delays for a first edge of a control signal. The control signal used for capturing data is provided by the at least one memory device. The method further includes selecting a time delay from the time delays used in the memory access operations. Moreover, the method includes utilizing the selected time delay in performing subsequent memory access operations on the at least one memory device. Also disclosed is a system including at least one memory device and an integrated circuit operatively coupled to the at least one memory device. The system incorporates the method for tuning control signals.
