On-die termination (ODT) control enables programmable ODT latency settings. A memory device can couple to an associated memory controller via one or more buses shared by multiple memory devices organized ranks of memory. The memory controller generates a memory access command for a target rank. In response to the command, memory devices can selectively engage ODT for the memory access operation based on being in the target rank or a non-target rank, and based on whether the access command includes a Read or a Write. The memory device can engage ODT in accordance with a programmable ODT latency setting. The programmable ODT latency setting can set different ODT timing values for Read and Write transactions.
