Abstract: A memory system includes a memory chip and a memory controller. The memory chip includes a storage region that stores setup data used for setup of the memory chip during power on thereof. The memory controller is configured to determine whether or not the memory controller has the setup data, when determining that the memory controller does not have the setup data, instruct the memory chip to read the setup data from the storage region and perform a first setup operation based on the read setup data, and when determining that the memory controller has the setup data, transmit the setup data to the memory chip and instruct the memory chip to perform a second setup operation based on the setup data received from the memory controller.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes a first pin, a first receiving circuit, and a first terminating circuit. The first pin receives a first signal and a second signal having a smaller amplitude than the first signal. The first receiving circuit is connected to the first pin and outputs, based on a comparison between the first signal and a first voltage, a third signal. The first receiving circuit also outputs, based on a comparison between the second signal and a second voltage, a fourth signal having a smaller amplitude than the third signal. The first terminating circuit is connected to the first pin. The first terminating circuit is disabled if the first pin receives the first signal, and enabled if the first pin receives the second signal.
