Phase-aware control and scheduling

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are system and electronic structure embodiments for implementing phase-aware control and scheduling. An embodiment includes a system with a bus controller configured to be activated in response to a first command. The bus controller may have a first clock speed and may drive an interface having a second clock speed. The system may further configure the bus controller to wait for a first time period in response to being activated, and a first circuit element structured to detect a first phase value of a first signal. In some embodiments, the bus controller may process a second command following passage of the first time period, and wait for a second time period, based on the detected first phase value and a ratio of the first and second clock speeds.
