    Abstract: Integrated circuit devices that operate in different modes. In a low data rate mode, data is transferred between the integrated circuit devices at a low data rate, or no data is transferred at all. In a high data rate mode, data is transferred between integrated circuit devices at a high data rate. A transition mode facilitates the transition from the low data rate mode to the high data rate mode. During the transition mode data is transferred between the integrated circuit devices at an intermediate data rate greater than the low data rate but lower than the high data rate. Also during the transition mode, parameters affecting the transmission of data between the integrated circuit devices are calibrated at the high data rate.

    Abstract: Embodiments of a device that receives and decodes a series of parallel symbol sets over a series of time intervals is described. In this device, symbols in a respective parallel symbol set are received on nodes. Each node receives a respective symbol, which can have one of two possible logical values (e.g., a logic 0 or a logic 1). Differential amplifiers in the device provide primary comparison results, each of which compares symbols received on pairs of the links, and generation circuits in the device provide secondary comparison results from the primary comparison results. A decoder in the device decodes a respective parallel symbol set from the primary and secondary comparison results to recover encoded data.

    Abstract: Described is a communication system in a first integrated circuit (IC) communicates with a second IC via single-ended communication channels. A bidirectional reference channel extends between the first and second ICs and is terminated on both ends. The termination impedances at each end of the reference channel support different modes for communicating signals in different directions. The termination impedances for the reference channel can be optimized for each signaling direction.

    Abstract: Embodiments of a system that communicates bidirectional data between two devices via shared links is described. In this system, data is transmitted on the shared links by one of the devices using single-ended drivers, and corresponding symbols are received on the shared links by the other device using differential comparison circuits. The data may be encoded as a series of parallel codewords prior to transmission. Each shared link may communicate a respective symbol in each codeword, which can have one of two possible logical values (e.g., a logic 0 or a logic 1). The corresponding symbols received by the other device may comprise a parallel symbol set, and each of the differential comparison circuits may compare symbols received on pairs of the shared links. A decoder in the other device may decode a respective parallel symbol set from the outputs of the differential comparison circuits to recover the encoded data.

    Abstract: A memory controller and/or memory device control termination of a communication link in order to achieve power savings while reducing or eliminating unwanted reflections in the channel. Following transmission of data over the communication channel, termination is left enabled for a programmable time period beginning immediately following completion of the transmission. The time period is sufficiently long to allow the unwanted reflections to be absorbed by the termination. Following the time period, the termination is disabled for power savings.
