Abstract:
1. A memory hub, comprising: a reception interface operable to receive data words and to capture the data words in response to a first clock signal in a first time domain, and operable to provide groups of the captured data words on an output in response to a second clock signal in a second time domain, the second clock signal having a different clock frequency than the first clock signal; a transmission interface coupled to the reception interface to receive the captured data words and operable to capture the data words in response to a third clock signal in the first time domain, and operable to provide the captured data words on an output; and local control circuitry coupled to the output of the reception interface to receive the groups of data words, the local control circuitry operable to develop memory requests corresponding to the groups of data words.
