Reference voltage and impedance calibration in a multi-mode interface
Abstract:
A memory controller includes a transmit circuit coupled to an output node and a receive circuit coupled to an input node. The transmit circuit transmits first data to a memory device through the output node and the receive circuit is configured to receive second data from the memory device through the input node. The memory controller includes a calibration circuit and control logic coupled to the calibration circuit, where the calibration circuit and the control logic are configured to select a first reference voltage and a driver impedance for the transmit circuit and are configured to select a second reference voltage and a termination impedance for the receive circuit. The first reference voltage, the second reference voltage, the driver impedance and the termination impedance are selected from a set of pre-determined values, which are associated with different signaling modes for communication of the first data and the second data.
