Abstract
A delay circuit is coupled to a memory device. At least a portion of the delay circuit is disposed in one or more memory banks on one or more memory chips of the memory device. The delay circuit is configured to calibrate an asynchronous signal received at each of the one or more memory banks so that the calibrated asynchronous signal has a common timing relationship with a respective internal command signal received at the corresponding memory bank for all of the one or more memory banks on the memory device. The calibrated asynchronous signals are used in various internal test operations to improve testing accuracy.
