Abstract: Encoding and decoding apparatuses and methods for implementing multi-mode coding are provided. The apparatus includes a transmitter and a receiver connected to a data bus. When data bursts are converted by the transmitter into codewords each including a plurality of symbols and/or a codeword received by the receiver is recovered as data bursts, maximum transition avoidance (MTA) codeword mappings in which no maximum transition (MT) event occurs between the plurality of symbols and minimum DC current (MDC) codeword mappings related to minimum power consumption of the plurality of symbols are used.

Abstract: A method of operating a memory device including receiving a multilevel signal having M levels transmitted by an external controller through a clock receiving pin, where M is a natural number greater than 2, and decoding the multilevel signal to restore at least one of Data Bus Inversion (DBI) data, Data Mask (DM) data, Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) data, or Error Correction Code (ECC) data may be provided. The multilevel signal is a clock signal transmitted by the external controller, and is a signal swinging based on an intermediate reference signal that is an intermediate value between a minimum level and a maximum level among the M levels.

Abstract: A multi-level signal receiver includes a data sampler circuit and a reference voltage generator circuit. The data sampler includes (M−1) sense amplifiers which compare a multi-level signal having one of M voltage levels different from each other with (M−1) reference voltages. The data sampler generates a target data signal including N bits, M is an integer greater than two and N is an integer greater than one. The reference voltage generator generates the (M−1) reference voltages, At least two sense amplifiers of the (M−1) sense amplifiers have different sensing characteristics.
