    Abstract: Embodiments of a memory controller are described. This memory controller communicates signals to a memory device via a signal line, which can be a data signal line or a command/address signal line. Termination of the signal line is divided between an external impedance outside of the memory controller and an internal impedance within the memory controller. The memory controller does not activate the external impedance prior to communicating the signals and, therefore, does not deactivate the external impedance after communicating the signals. The internal impedance of the memory controller can be enabled or disabled in order to reduce interface power consumption. Moreover, the internal impedance may be implemented using a passive component, an active component or both. For example, the internal impedance may include either or both an on-die termination and at least one driver.

    Abstract: Described are amplifiers that facilitate high-speed communication with calibrated drive strength and termination impedance. Drivers and termination elements can be divided into a number N of parallel portions, one or more of which can be disabled and updated without interfering with signal (e.g., clock or data) transmission. Some embodiments identify inactive elements by examining incoming signals.

    Abstract: A method is described that compares two voltages, one of the voltages indicative of a data line voltage, a second of the voltages indicative of a reference voltage. An input signal is sent to each of a plurality of drivers where at least one of the drivers is coupled to the data line. The input signal is based upon the comparison. A bias is applied to a transistor from the input signal, the bias keeping the transistor in a high output impedance state when the two voltages are the same.
