Interface circuit for memory system used in computing system, has frame detection circuit that detects frame signal at one of output terminals of primary output terminals

摘要

The interface circuit (10) has deserializer (100) with serial input terminal (SI) for receiving serial signal (SR) including frame start code, and primary output terminals (PO1-POk) for outputting parallel signals based on received serial signal. One of parallel signals (RP1-RPk) is frame signal (BT) including frame start code. A frame detection circuit detects frame signal at one of output terminals of the primary output terminals. The matching block circuit (400) matches input terminals (MI1-MIk) to secondary output terminals (MO1-MOk) based on detection of frame detection circuit. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) method for interfacing signals transferred between devices; (2) memory system; and (3) apparatus for interfacing signals transferred between devices.
