Abstract

A receiver for a memory controller. The memory controller sends a data request signal to a memory which responds to the data request signal by sending data and a data strobe signal back to the memory controller. The receiver comprises a delay circuit receiving and delaying the data strobe signal, an emulated data strobe signal generator receiving the data request signal to generate an emulated data strobe signal, a push pointer generator generating a plurality of push pointers having priorities, receiving and responding to the emulated data strobe signal by outputting the push pointers in an order according to the priorities, and a buffer receiving and responding to the delayed data strobe signal and the push pointers by storing the data in memory addresses corresponding to the push pointers.
