Abstract:
A semiconductor memory device includes a first memory die having a first termination resistor for an on-die termination and a second memory die having a second termination resistor for an on-die termination and formed on the first memory die. Each of the first and second memory dies has a center pad type and operates based on a multi-rank structure. When the first memory die is accessed, the second termination resistor is connected to the second memory die, and when the second memory die is accessed, the first termination resistor is connected to the first memory die.
