  • Patent number: 11671287
    Abstract: An interconnect module device is provided. The interconnect module device includes a line control command (LCC) detecting circuit configured to identify an LCC signal; an equalizer control circuit configured to generate a control signal based on the LCC signal; a receiving equalizer configured to perform receiving equalization on a first signal received from a first universal flash storage (UFS) device based on the control signal to generate a second signal; and a transmitting equalizer configured to perform transmitting equalization on the second signal to generate a third signal based on the control signal, and transmit the third signal to a second UFS device.

  • Publication number: 20220147254
    Abstract: A universal flash storage (UFS) device includes a UFS data lane comprising a first UFS lane for a first direction in which data is output to a UFS host, a second UFS lane for a second direction in which data is received from the UFS host, and bidirectional UFS lanes capable of switching the first direction and the second direction according to an operation mode. A UFS device controller switches a data transmission direction of the bidirectional UFS lanes, based on a control signal indicating the operation mode.
