  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20260169946
    Abstract: A storage device may establish a connection with a receiver in a memory device that is booted up in a Center Tapped Termination (CTT) mode. A toggle mode (TM) link may connect the storage device to the memory device. The storage device may include a Low Tapped Termination (LTT) input/output (IO) driver including a NMOS pull-up, a configurable PMOS pull-up to pull up an output high voltage (VOH), and an unterminated channel. When the storage device is booted in the LTT mode, a controller in the storage device may enable the PMOS pull-up to cause the controller to operate in the CTT mode and communicate with the memory device booted in the CTT mode. Once communication is established, the controller may direct the memory device to switch to the LTT mode and the controller may disable the PMOS pull-up.
