A method of conducting memory operations in a memory system comprising a memory controller component, first and second memory components, an address bus connecting the memory controller component to the first memory component and the second memory component, a first data bus connecting the memory controller component to the first memory component, and a second data bus connecting the memory controller component to the second memory component, the first data bus being separate from the second data bus, the method comprising: the memory controller component providing a clock signal to the first and second memory components (116,118), wherein each of the first and second memory components use the clock signal to receive an address signal propagating on the address bus; the memory controller component providing the address signal via the address bus, wherein a propagation delay of the address signal propagating on the address bus between the memory controller and a termination component on the address bus is longer than a time interval between successive bits of information on the address bus, the method further comprising, the memory controller component: transmitting data along the first data bus to the first memory component; transmitting a first timing signal along a first timing signal line to the first memory component, wherein the first memory component uses the first timing signal to receive data from the first data bus; and characterized by the memory controller component adjusting a drive point of the first timing signal based, at least in part, on a time required for the clock signal to arrive the first memory component. the memory controller component providing a clock signal to the first and second memory components (116,118), wherein each of the first and second memory components use the clock signal to receive an address signal propagating on the address bus; the memory controller component providing the address signal via the address bus, wherein a propagation delay of the address signal propagating on the address bus between the memory controller and a termination component on the address bus is longer than a time interval between successive bits of information on the address bus, the method further comprising, the memory controller component: transmitting data along the first data bus to the first memory component; transmitting a first timing signal along a first timing signal line to the first memory component, wherein the first memory component uses the first timing signal to receive data from the first data bus; and characterized by the memory controller component adjusting a drive point of the first timing signal based, at least in part, on a time required for the clock signal to arrive the first memory component. transmitting data along the first data bus to the first memory component; transmitting a first timing signal along a first timing signal line to the first memory component, wherein the first memory component uses the first timing signal to receive data from the first data bus; and characterized by the memory controller component adjusting a drive point of the first timing signal based, at least in part, on a time required for the clock signal to arrive the first memory component.
