    Abstract: An I/O interface supports scrambling, where the scrambling can include nonlinear scrambling of the scrambling code, or dynamic bus inversion of the scrambling code, or selective switching of selected bits of the scrambling code, or a combination of these. The transmitting device includes a scrambler and the receiving device includes a descrambler. Both the scrambler and the descrambler generate a linear feedback scrambling code modified by applying one or more of the techniques mentioned above. The modified scrambling code may cause fewer than half of the scrambled output bits to be toggled with respect to a previous scrambled output. The scrambler applies the modified scrambling code to a signal to transmit. The descrambler applies the modified scrambling code to a received signal.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, a memory device may contain device processing logic and a mode register. The mode register may a register that may specify a mode of operation of the memory device. A field in the mode register may hold a value that may indicate whether a command associated with the memory device is disabled. The value may be held in the field until either the memory device is power-cycled or reset. The device processing logic may acquire an instance of the command. The device processing logic may determine whether the command is disabled based on the value held by the mode register. The device processing logic may not execute the instance of the command if the device processing logic determines the command is disabled. If the device processing logic determines the command is not disabled, the device processing logic may execute the instance of the command.

    Abstract: A chip select training mode (CSTM) enables a memory subsystem to train a chip select signal separately from command bus training. A memory device and a memory controller can connect via a command bus including a chip select signal line. Instead of training the chip select along with other signal lines of the command bus, a CSTM mode enables the memory subsystem to more accurately train the chip select. The memory device can be triggered for CSTM mode with a command, and then train voltage margining for the CS signal line to align chip select signaling with the memory subsystem clock signal.

    Abstract: A memory controller issues a targeted refresh command. A specific row of a memory device can be the target of repeated accesses. When the row is accessed repeatedly within a time threshold (also referred to as “hammered” or a “row hammer event”), physically adjacent row (a “victim” row) may experience data corruption. The memory controller receives an indication of a row hammer event, identifies the row associated with the row hammer event, and sends one or more commands to the memory device to cause the memory device to perform a targeted refresh that will refresh the victim row.

    Abstract: A transmission line interface circuit includes a voltage regulator to control a voltage swing of the transmission line interface circuit for signal transmission. The transmission line interface circuit includes complementary driver elements, including a p-type driver element to pull up the transmission line in response to a logic high, and an n-type driver element to pull down the transmission line in response to a logic low. The voltage regulator is coupled between one of the driver elements and a respective voltage reference to reduce a voltage swing of the transmission line interface circuit.
