Abstract

A memory controller having a time-staggered request signal output. A first timing signal is generated with a phase offset relative to a first clock signal in accordance with a first programmed value, and a second timing signal is generated with a phase offset relative to the first clock signal in accordance with a second programmed value. An address value is transmitted in response to the first timing signal and a control value is transmitted in response to the second timing signal, the address value and control value constituting portions of a first memory access request.
