Abstract:
A circuit includes a memory interface control circuit and a self-refresh adjustable impedance driver circuit having at least one adjustable impedance circuit. The memory interface control circuit selectively provides an impedance control signal based on memory self-refresh information. The self-refresh adjustable impedance driver circuit adjusts an impedance value of the adjustable impedance circuit in response to the impedance control signal. In addition, the self-refresh adjustable impedance driver circuit provides a memory interface signal based on the memory self-refresh information.
