Abstract: Methods of operating integrated circuit devices are useful in testing impedance adjustment. Methods include connecting a node of the integrated circuit device to a first voltage node through a reference resistance and connecting the node to a second voltage node through a termination device, and comparing a voltage level at the node to a reference voltage for at least one resistance value of the termination device. When no available resistance value of the termination device generates a voltage level at the node that is deemed to match the reference voltage, the voltage level of the reference voltage may be altered, and the voltage level at the node may be compared to the altered reference voltage. When the voltage level at the node is deemed to match the altered reference voltage, the termination device may be deemed as passed. Otherwise, the termination device may be deemed as failed.

Abstract: Integrated circuit devices and methods of operating integrated circuit devices are useful in impedance adjustment. Integrated circuit devices include a signal driver circuit having an output node, a voltage node, and a first termination device and a second termination device connected in parallel between the voltage node and the output node. The first termination device and the second termination device each have a particular configuration of switchable resistances, and different strengths. Methods include connecting a node of the integrated circuit device to a first voltage node through a reference resistance, connecting the node to a second voltage node through a termination device, adjusting a resistance value of the termination device and comparing a resulting voltage level to a reference voltage. The reference voltage has a voltage level different than half-way between a voltage level of the first voltage node and a voltage level of the second voltage node.

Abstract: Methods for memory input timing self-calibration, apparatuses for input timing self-calibration, and systems are disclosed. One such method includes sequentially programming a plurality of delay trim settings into a delay circuit of a data path. The data path can include a data latch coupled to the delay circuit. A clock is coupled to the data latch to clock data into the data latch. Transitions of the data are substantially aligned with transitions of the clock. An output of the data latch is read after each delay trim setting is programmed. A boundary is determined between a first output state of the data latch and a second output state of the data latch wherein the boundary is associated with a particular delay trim setting of the plurality of delay trim settings. The particular delay trim setting is programmed into the delay circuit.
