Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the phase of DQ signal and DQS signal will fluctuate due to noise or internal / external environmental reasons, such as temperature change
Therefore, it is not possible to achieve optimum performance for the memory module 10, and especially for the controller 14, using a fixed amount of delay.

Embodiment Construction

[0015] Please refer to FIG. 2 , which is a block diagram of a memory control circuit 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the memory control circuit 100 includes delay units 111 , 112 and 114 , a sampling unit 120 and a decision unit 130 . The memory control circuit 100 receives a data signal (such as a DQ signal) and a raw data strobe signal (such as a DQS signal) through the delay units 112 and 114 respectively. In addition, the delay unit 114 further includes a single delay cell (delay cell), as shown in FIG. 2 , the single delay cell has an adjustable delay value DLL_DELAY. The adjustable delay DLL_DELAY is set to a constant phase delay of 90 degrees. As shown in FIG. 2 , the sampling unit 120 includes latches 122 , 124 and 126 .

[0016] Please refer to Figure 2 and image 3 . image 3 is a schematic diagram of the delay unit 111 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The delay unit 111 includes two de...

Abstract

A memory control method for adjusting sampling points utilized by a memory control circuit receiving a data signal and an original data strobe signal of a memory includes: utilizing at least one delay unit to provide a plurality of sampling points according to the original data strobe signal; sampling according to the data signal by utilizing the plurality of sampling points; and analyzing sampling results to dynamically determine a delay amount for delaying the original data strobe signal, whereby a sampling point corresponding to the delayed data strobe signal is kept centered at data carried by the data signal. Therefore, the invention can dynamically adjust the sampling points to achieve a best memory control effect.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to memory control, in particular to a memory control method capable of dynamically adjusting sampling points and related circuits. Background technique [0002] Please refer to figure 1 , figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a memory module 10 in the prior art. The memory module 10 includes a dynamic random access memory (dynamic random access memory) 12 and a controller 14, wherein the controller 14 uses a data signal and a data strobe signal (data strobe signal) to access the dynamic random access memory 12, and the data signal is as figure 1 Among DQ signals, data strobe signals such as figure 1 The concept and operation of the DQS signal, the DQ signal and the DQS signal are well known to those skilled in the art, so details are not repeated here. [0003] Generally speaking, to manufacture an electronic component including a memory module 10, a manufacturer needs to combine an independent DRAM 12 and a controller 14...
