ABSTRACT:
Additional clock-outs are included on DRAMs in a multiple Dual In-Line Module Memory (DIMM) system having DRAMs of different data widths. The additional clock-outs balance the loads seen by the DRAM clock-out and data-out, thereby reducing signal skew between the DRAM data and clock lines. Additionally, in a second embodiment, every other clock line in a series of DRAMs comprising a DIMM are left unconnected. The data from the non connected DRAMs is clocked using the clock line of its neighbor.
