Abstract

See full text

A memory controller includes a register and an interface circuitry. The register stores read timing-parameters for a memory. The interface circuitry communicates with the memory by providing a plurality of control signals to the memory. The control signals may include a chip-enable signal and a read-enable signal. The interface circuitry uses the read timing-parameters to provide the plurality of control signals. The relative timing of the plurality of control signals to one another depends at least in part on the read timing-parameters. The user can program the read timing-parameters in order to support and facilitate transactions with a variety of memory devices.
