Abstract

A system for improving system cycle time while supporting 11/2 cycle data paths with a PLL based clock system using a communication circuit providing a first mode of operation whereby a first cycle time is obtained, and for allowing use of a second mode of operation whereby a second longer multi-mode cycle time is obtained to extend the time for evaluation of data on the bi-directional data path between a first chip and a memory circuit.
