    Abstract: A memory system in which a timing drift that would occur in distribution of a first timing signal for data transport in a memory device is determined by measuring the actual phase delays occurring in a second timing signal that has a frequency lower than that of the first timing signal and is distributed in one or more circuits mimicking the drift characteristics of at least a portion of distribution of the first timing signal. The actual phase delays are determined in the memory device and provided to a memory controller so that the phases of the timing signals used for data transport may be adjusted based on the determined timing drift.

    Abstract: Duty cycle error vectors that indicate both the magnitude and direction of the duty cycle error relative to a desired duty cycle are generated within a duty cycle measurement circuit, enabling threshold-based determination of whether duty cycle adjustment is necessary, refraining from power-consuming adjustment and follow-up measurement in those cases where the duty cycle is within a target range. When duty cycle adjustment is deemed necessary, the magnitude of the duty cycle error indicated by the duty cycle error vector may be applied to effect proportional rather than incremental duty cycle adjustment, quickly returning the clock duty cycle to a target range.

    Abstract translation: 在占空比测量电路内产生指示相对于期望占空比的占空比误差的大小和方向的占空比误差矢量,使得能够基于阈值确定是否需要占空比调整,避免功耗调节 在占空比在目标范围内的情况下进行跟踪测量。 当认为有必要进行占空比调整时,由占空比误差矢量表示的占空比误差的大小可以用于实现比例而不是增量占空比调整,从而快速地将时钟占空比返回到目标范围。
