Abstract

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for adjusting memory hold time. A detection module detects a hold time violation for a memory. An adjustment module increases a first voltage of a voltage controller in response to the hold time violation. The voltage controller supplies electrical current at the first voltage to a memory controller and at a reference voltage to the memory. The first and reference voltages are set independently.
