  • Patent number: 12718864
    Abstract: A training method of a memory device adjusting an eye window of a data signal in response to a duty cycle adjuster (DCA) includes performing a first training operation that selects a first DCA code corresponding to a first internal clock signal having a phase difference of 180° relative to a reference internal clock signal, and performing a second training operation that selects a second DCA code and a third DCA code respectively corresponding to a second internal clock signal and a third internal clock signal having a phase difference of 90° and 270° relative to reference internal clock signal. In the first training operation, the eye window size of the data signal is measured in units of two unit intervals, and in the second training operation, the eye window size of the data signal is measured in units of one unit interval.

  • Publication number: 20260169068
    Abstract: A testing method for an electronic device includes receiving a plurality of first test data and a plurality of second test data, generating a plurality of first and second local scores, generating a global score for a common test case for the plurality of first test cases and the plurality of second test cases, replacing at least some of the plurality of first local scores with the global score to generate a plurality of first test scores, replacing at least some of the plurality of second local scores with the global score to generate a plurality of second test scores, and performing a first mutation operation based on a first optimal test case corresponding to the highest score among the plurality of first test scores to generate a first pre-test group.

  • Patent number: 12609146
    Abstract: A method of training a memory device is provided. In first to third DCA training steps, a score for each of first to third DCA code combinations is calculated based on an eye window size of a data signal, and in response to a tie occurring among scores, a DCA code combination is selected based on the sum of an even-eye window minimum value and an odd-eye window minimum value of the data signal.

  • Publication number: 20260093402
    Abstract: A memory device includes a memory cell array including a plurality of memory cells, a control logic circuit configured to perform a refresh operation of the memory cell array based on a refresh command received from a memory controller, an input/output circuit configured to transmit user data stored in the memory cell array to the memory controller, and a mode register configured to store mode register information data related to the memory device and output the mode register information data through the input/output circuit under controlling of the control logic circuit. The control logic circuit is configured further to perform, in response to a refresh mode register read command received from the memory controller, the refresh operation of the memory cell array and an operation of controlling the mode register to output the mode register information data during a refresh execution time of the refresh operation.

  • Patent number: 12132501
    Abstract: A memory system includes a memory module that includes a first memory device through a fourth memory device and a first error correction code (ECC) device, and a memory controller that exchanges first user data with each of the first memory device through the fourth memory device through 8 data lines and exchanges first ECC data with the first ECC device through 4 data lines. The memory controller includes an ECC engine that corrects a 32-random bit error of the first user data, based on the first ECC data.
