Abstract

A memory device includes an interconnect with control pins and bidirectional data pins. A memory core stores data. A memory interface circuit is connected to the interconnect and the memory core. The memory interface circuit includes a delay circuit to establish a write delay during a memory core write transaction such that the memory core write transaction has a processing time that is substantially equivalent to a memory core read transaction. The delay circuit delays the memory core write transaction for a time corresponding to the time required for signals to travel on the interconnect.
