The semiconductor memory system includes a memory controller, N system data buses, and first through P-th memory module groups. The N system data buses are connected to the memory controller and respectively have a width of M/N bits. The first through P-th memory module groups are connected to the N system data buses and respectively have N memory modules. In each of the first through P-th memory module groups, a different one of the N system data buses is connected to each of the N memory modules, and each of the N system data buses has a data bus width of M/N bits. The first through P-th memory module groups are operated in response to first through P-th corresponding chip select signals. M is the bit-width of an entire system data bus of the semiconductor memory system. The N system data buses are wired such that data transmission times are the same from each N memory modules that operate in response to the same chip select signal to the memory controller.

For ODT (on-die termination) control within a memory module system, just one pin from the memory controller is used for sending command signals indicating an activated one of the memory devices. The activated memory device includes components that are turned on for generating the ODT control signal for controlling an ODT circuit of inactivated memory device(s). The components for generating an ODT control signal within the inactivated memory devices are turned off for minimized power consumption.

摘要:
A memory system system includes a single in-line memory module (SIMM) which contains a memory device and a signal transmission line connected between the memory device and a connection terminal, and a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) which contains two memory devices and a signal transmission line connected between the two memory devices and a connection terminal. A length of the signal transmission line of the SIMM is longer than a length of the signal transmission line of the DIMM. The load of the memory device of the SIMM is less than the load of memory devices of the DIMM, and the longer length of the signal transmission line of the SIMM increases a signal delay time of the SIMM to compensate for the different loads of the SIMM and DIMM memory devices. The longer length of the signal transmission line of the SIMM may further compensate for a signal transmission line connected between the first and second sockets which receive the SIMM and DIMM, respectively.
