    Abstract: A system enables memory device specific self-refresh entry and exit commands. When memory devices on a shared control bus (such as all memory devices in a rank) are in self-refresh, a memory controller can issue a device specific command with a self-refresh exit command and a unique memory device identifier to the memory device. The controller sends the command over the shared control bus, and only the selected, identified memory device will exit self-refresh while the other devices will ignore the command and remain in self-refresh. The controller can then execute data access over a shared data bus with the specific memory device while the other memory devices are in self-refresh.

    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.

    Abstract: Described herein are a method and an apparatus for dynamically switching between one or more finite termination impedance value settings to a memory input-output (I/O) interface of a memory in response to a termination signal level. The method comprises: setting a first termination impedance value setting for a termination unit of an input-output (I/O) interface of a memory; assigning the first termination impedance value setting to the termination unit when the memory is not being accessed; and switching from the first termination impedance value setting to a second termination impedance value setting in response to a termination signal level.

    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a pattern of pins where the signals assigned to the pins are arranged in a manner to reduce cross-talk. In some examples, a socket substrate includes a first group of pins that includes a first group of data (DQ) pins separated by at least two Voltage Source Supply (VSS) pins from a second group of DQ pins and a third group of DQ pins separated by at least two VSS pins from a fourth group of DQ pins. In some examples, data strobe signal (DQS) pins are positioned in a column between the first and third groups of DQ pins and the second and fourth groups of DQ pins. In some examples, a second group of pins includes a first group of DQ pins separated by at least two VSS pins from a second group of DQ pins and a third group of DQ pins separated by at least two VSS pins from a fourth group of DQ pins. In some examples, the second group of pins, DQS pins are positioned between the first and third groups of DQ pins and the second and fourth groups of DQ pins.
