Edge detection for memory controller

Abstract:

Some examples of the present disclosure generally relate to integrated circuits that include hardware logic for detecting an edge of a signal. In some examples, an integrated circuit includes a traffic generator, a memory communication path, a comparator, and edge detection hardware logic. The traffic generator, comparator, and edge detection hardware logic are configurable based on a calibration stage. The traffic generator is operable to generate commands to memory via a memory communication path. The comparator is operable to compare data from the memory communication path with known data and to responsively output a comparison status. The data from the memory communication path is in response to the commands generated by the traffic generator. The edge detection hardware logic is operable to detect an edge of a signal based on the comparison status.
