| 20080285371 | WIDE WINDOW CLOCK SCHEME FOR LOADING OUTPUT FIFO REGISTERS - A circuit provides the widest possible window for capturing data and preventing run-through in a FIFO register. The FIFO register includes two registers per I/O. Two FIFO input clocks are used, one for each FIFO register. When one FIFO clock is active, the other is automatically disabled. Initially, the circuit is reset such that one clock is active, and the other disabled. Upon receiving a valid READ command, a shift chain attached to the FICLK that is currently low begins counting the clock cycles. This eventually determines when the FICLK that is currently low can be enabled. The final enable is dependent upon the turning off the FICLK that is currently high. The FICLK that is enabled during the reset turns off a fixed delay after the falling edge of the YCLK associated with the READ command. | 11-20-2008 |
