Zusammenfassung:Memory devices and systems with adjustable through-silicon via (TSV) delay, and associated methods, are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a plurality of memory dies and a TSV configured to transmit signals to or receive signals from the plurality of memory dies. The apparatus further includes circuitry coupled to the TSV and configured to introduce propagation delay onto signals transmitted to or received from the TSV. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes additional circuitry configured to activate, deactivate, adjust at least a portion of the circuitry, or any combination thereof, to alter the propagation delay. In this manner, the apparatus can align internal timings of memory dies of the plurality of memory dies.
