Abstract

A method of training chip select for a memory module. The method includes programming a memory controller into a mode wherein a command signal is active for a programmable time period. The method then programs a programmable delay line of the chip select with a delay value and performs initialization of the memory module. A read command is then sent to the memory module to toggle a state of the chip select. A number of data strobe signals sent by the memory module in response to the read command are counted. A determination is made whether the memory module is in a pass state or an error state based on a result of the counting.
