Abstract

Apparatuses and methods for providing strobe signals to memories are described herein. An example apparatus may include a plurality of memories and a memory controller. The memory controller may be coupled to the plurality of memories and configured to receive an input clock signal. The memory controller may further be configured to provide a timing strobe signal having a delay relative to the input clock signal to a memory of the plurality of memories. The memory controller may further be configured to receive a return strobe signal from the plurality of memories. In some examples, the return strobe signal may be based at least in part on the timing strobe signal and the memory controller may be configured to adjust the delay based, at least in part, on a phase difference of the input clock signal and the return strobe signal.
