Abstract:
A method of training a memory device is provided. In first to third DCA training steps, a score for each of first to third DCA code combinations is calculated based on an eye window size of a data signal, and in response to a tie occurring among scores, a DCA code combination is selected based on the sum of an even-eye window minimum value and an odd-eye window minimum value of the data signal.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and a device for detecting a short circuit between adjacent micro-bumps. The method includes setting outputs of a pull-up driver and a pull-down driver of a data output circuit connected with a micro-bump to be suitable for a test type and determining whether a short circuit is generated.

Abstract:
A memory device including a parity check circuit and a mask circuit may be provided. The parity check circuit may perform parity check on data sampled according to a data strobe signal, which does not include a post-amble. The mask circuit may generate a parity error signal based on results of the parity check, and output the parity error signal during a time period determined according to a burst length of the data.

Abstract:
A self bias buffer circuit includes a buffer and bias controller. The buffer provides a self bias voltage based on a reference voltage and to be driven based on the self bias voltage. The buffer also generates an output signal based on a comparison of an input signal and the reference voltage. The bias controller adjusts the self bias voltage based on the reference voltage.
