  • Patent number: 11581025
    Abstract: A high resolution impedance adjustment (ZQ) calibration method using a hidden least significant bit (HLSB) is provided. The high resolution ZQ calibration method generates a data input/output (DQ) code of n+1 bits without a calibration time increase by adding the hidden least significant bit (HLSB) to a ZQ code of n bits output in a ZQ calibration operation of an impedance adjustment (ZQ) pad. A change in a termination resistance of the DQ pad is reduced as small as possible by the DQ code of n+1 bits.
