ABSTRACT:
Various techniques for capturing read data from a memory bus are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a computing system includes a memory device, a memory bus in communication with the memory device, a memory bus interface, a local bus, and a local bus interface. The local bus interface may be coupled to the local bus and configured to receive a data strobe signal and data signal from the memory bus. The local bus interface may include a buffer and a delay circuit configured to align an edge of the data strobe signal with the center of a data eye of the data signal. In this manner, the computing system may ensure that data is valid when written to the buffer.
