Abstract:
A calibration controller tests an electronic circuit to identify an initial read check with a read delay, an initial write check with a write delay, and an initial command, address, control (CAC) check with a CAC delay indicated as passing. Responsive to the initial read check, the initial write check, and the initial CAC check indicated as passing, for each setting of the read delay, the write delay, and the CAC delay, the calibration controller iteratively performs concurrently, a write test with the write delay, a read test with the read delay, and a CAC test with the CAC delay on the electronic circuit over the range of conditions while simultaneously adjusting the write delay, the read delay, and the CAC delay for each iteration until one or more of a read edge, a write edge, and a CAC edge are detected.
