US Patent 7929356 Method and system to access memory

This document discusses among other things, a system comprising a host controller, an Input/Output buffer, and a memory device. The memory device is coupled to the host controller and is configured to receive a read command from the host controller. The non-volatile includes an interface control logic, which is in communication with a non-volatile memory. The interface control logic includes a latency programming circuit coupled to the non-volatile memory and the Input/Output buffer. The latency programming circuit stores at least one value corresponding to dummy byte delays to be provided at the non-volatile memory prior to transferring data from the non-volatile memory during a read operation.
