Abstract:
A memory device and method of operation for latency control in which a source clock signal having a first frequency is divided to provide a divided clock signal having a second frequency that is less than the first frequency as an input to a delay-locked loop circuit in an initialization mode. A locking operation may be performed to align the divided clock signal and a feedback clock signal that is generated by delaying the divided clock signal through the delay-locked loop circuit. A loop delay of the delay-locked loop circuit is measured after the locking operation is completed. The latency control is performed efficiently by measuring the loop delay using the divided clock signal in the initialization mode.

Claim (Index 20):
The memory device of  claim 18 , further comprising:\n a latency control circuit configured to generate a latency control signal corresponding to a compensated latency in the normal operation mode, the compensated latency being calculated by subtracting the loop delay from a command latency and generate an odd flag signal indicating whether the compensated latency corresponds to an odd number multiple of a clock cycle period of the source clock signal; and a latency delay circuit disposed on a command path of the memory device to provide a delay corresponding to the compensated latency based on the latency control signal and the odd flag signal.
