Abstract: A high resolution impedance adjustment (ZQ) calibration method using a hidden least significant bit (HLSB) is provided. The high resolution ZQ calibration method generates a data input/output (DQ) code of n+1 bits without a calibration time increase by adding the hidden least significant bit (HLSB) to a ZQ code of n bits output in a ZQ calibration operation of an impedance adjustment (ZQ) pad. A change in a termination resistance of the DQ pad is reduced as small as possible by the DQ code of n+1 bits.

Abstract: A method of operating a system including a parameter monitoring circuit and a host, includes generating a first parameter applying a first code to a current parameter, wherein a first offset is applied to the first code; generating a first comparison result by comparing the first parameter with a reference parameter value; generating a second parameter applying a second code to the current parameter, wherein a second offset is applied to the second code; generating a second comparison result by comparing the second parameter with the reference parameter value; detecting an error in the current parameter, based on the first comparison result and the second comparison result; and providing a signal based on the error to the host.

Abstract: A storage device includes a plurality of memory chips and a chip. The plurality of memory chips includes a first memory chip configured to generate a first signal based on a first clock signal, and a second memory chip configured to generate a second signal based on a second clock signal. The chip is configured to receive the first and second signals and generate and output a first and second comparison signal based on a duty cycle of the first and second signals. The first memory chip is further configured to generate a first corrected signal by adjusting a duty cycle of the first clock signal based on the first comparison signal, and the second memory chip is further configured to generate a second corrected signal by adjusting a duty cycle of the second clock signal based on the second comparison signal.

Abstract: A multi-chip package with reduced calibration time and an impedance control (ZQ) calibration method thereof are provided. A master chip of the multi-chip package performs a first ZQ calibration operation by using a ZQ resistor, and then, the other slave chips simultaneously perform second ZQ calibration operations with respect to data input/output (DQ) pads of the slave chips by using a termination resistance value of a DQ pad of the master chip on the basis of a one-to-one correspondence relationship with the DQ pad of the master chip. The multi-chip package completes ZQ calibration by performing two ZQ calibration operations, thereby decreasing a ZQ calibration time.

Abstract: A method of calibrating impedance of a memory device including a data transmitter includes: outputting a comparison signal by comparing a power supply voltage and a reference voltage, the power supply voltage being supplied to the data transmitter when the data transmitter is driven; storing a voltage level of the reference voltage when the comparison signal changes logical state; adjusting the reference voltage based on the comparison signal such that the voltage level of the reference voltage increases or decreases; and calibrating an output impedance of the memory device based on a digital code corresponding to an average reference voltage level, the average reference voltage level being obtained by averaging a prescribed number of voltage levels of the reference voltage stored as a result of repeatedly outputting the comparison signal, storing the voltage level of the reference voltage, and adjusting the reference voltage.
