Abstract
A system for memory management includes an incoming memory data strobe connecting a memory data interface, and a clock distribution network. The clock distribution network includes an internal clock aligned to the incoming memory data strobe. The system also includes an asynchronous clock domain that is asynchronous with the clock distribution network; and a strobe select circuit configured to align to the incoming memory data strobe. The clock distribution network is configured to propagate read data with reduced latency from the memory data interface to a second interface.
