    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for sequential voltage control for a memory device are described. A memory device may have various voltage sources that support different voltage levels used in various operations of the memory device. Voltage sources of a memory device may be disabled under some circumstances, such as when the memory device is idled, or operated in a low-power or powered-down mode, among other circumstances. In accordance with examples as disclosed herein, voltage sources of a memory device or memory die may be sequentially enabled or sequentially disabled. For example, voltage sources may be enabled in an order from voltage sources having relatively higher nominal voltages to voltage sources having relatively lower voltages, or disabled in an order from voltage sources having relatively lower nominal voltages to voltage sources having relatively higher voltages.

    摘要: Apparatuses and methods for adjusting timing of signals are described herein. An example apparatus may include a first signal adjustment cell configured to receive a first clock signal and to adjust skew of rising or falling edges of the first clock signal based on a first control signal. The timing adjustment circuit may further include a second signal adjustment cell configured to adjust skew of rising or falling edges of a second clock signal based on a second control signal. The timing adjustment circuit may further include a differential adjustment cell configured to receive the first and second clock signals and to adjust skew of rising or falling edges of the first clock signal based on the first control signal and to adjust skew of rising or falling edges of the second clock signal based on the second control signal. The first and second clock signals may be complementary.

    摘要: Apparatuses and methods for phase interpolating clock signals and for providing duty cycle corrected clock signals are described. An example apparatus includes a clock generator circuit configured to provide first and second clock signals responsive to an input clock signal. A duty phase interpolator circuit may be coupled to the clock generator circuit and configured to provide a first and second duty cycle corrected interpolated clock signals. A duty cycle adjuster circuit may be coupled to the duty phase interpolator circuit and configured to receive the first and second duty cycle corrected interpolated clock signals and provide a duty cycle corrected clock signal responsive thereto. A duty cycle detector may be coupled to the duty cycle adjuster circuit and configured to detect duty cycle error of the duty cycle corrected clock signal and provide the adjustment signals to correct the duty cycle error.

    摘要: Measurement initialization circuitry is described. Propagation of a start signal through a variable delay line may be stopped by either of two stop signals. One stop signal corresponds to a rising edge of a reference clock signal. A second stop signal corresponds to a falling edge of the reference clock signal. The start signal propagation is stopped responsive to the first to arrive of the first and second stop signals. Accordingly, in some examples, start signal propagation through a variable delay line may be stopped responsive to either a rising or falling edge of the reference clock signal.

    摘要: Apparatuses and methods for delaying signals using a delay line are described. An example apparatus includes a controller configured to in a first mode, set a delay length, and, in a second mode, to determine an initial delay. The apparatus further including a delay line circuit coupled to the controller and includes delay elements. Each of the delay elements includes delay gates that are the same type of delay gate. The delay line circuit is configured to, in the first mode propagate a signal through one or more of the delay elements to provide a delayed signal. The delay line circuit is further configured to, in the second mode, propagate a pulse signal through one or more of the delay elements and provide a corresponding output signal from each of the one or more delay elements responsive to the pulse signal reaching an output of the corresponding delay element.

    摘要: Examples of circuits and methods for compensating for power supply induced signal jitter in path elements sensitive to power supply variation. An example includes a signal path coupling an input to an output, the signal path including a delay element having a first delay and a bias-controlled delay element having a second delay. The first delay of the delay element exhibits a first response to changes in power applied thereto and the second delay of the bias-controlled delay element exhibits a second response to changes in the power applied such that the second response compensates at least in part for the first response.
