Ware, et al. May 29, 2007

Method and apparatus for coordinating memory operations among diversely-located memory components

A memory controller is disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the memory controller may comprise a first transmitter to output first and second write commands synchronously with respect to a clock signal, a second transmitter to output first data using a first timing offset such that the first data arrives at a first memory device in accordance with a predetermined timing relationship with respect to a first transition of the clock signal, and a third transmitter to output second data using a second timing offset such that the second data arrives at a second memory device in accordance with a predetermined timing relationship with respect to a second transition of the clock signal.

Memory module with termination component

Abstract
A memory module having a termination component. The memory module includes multiple memory devices, a termination component, a control signal path and multiple data signal paths. The control signal path is coupled to each of the memory devices and the termination component, and extends along the memory devices such that signals propagating on the control signal path propagate past each of the memory devices in succession before reaching the termination component. A unique set of data signal paths is coupled to each of the memory devices.
