  • Triggering non-target on-die termination on a memory device
    Patent number: 12664085
    Abstract: A storage device may trigger a non-target on-die termination (ntODT) on non-target dies in a memory device. A controller on the storage device may send a command to a target die. When a memory device including the target die and the non-target dies, receives a chip enable (CE) signal, the target die and non-target dies listen to the command. If the communication channel includes one CE bucket, the non-target dies in the CE bucket use the address of the target die to determine that they are non-target dies. If the communication channel includes more than one CE buckets, the non-target dies in a CE bucket that does not include the target die, use a command trigger to determine that they are non-target dies. The non-target dies turn on the ntODT during data transmission and turn off the ntODT when the data transmission is complete.
