A memory device performs first training including a plurality of loop operations to align a main clock signal and a data clock signal, which are received from a memory controller. A method of operating the memory device includes generating division ratio information indicating a division ratio set based on a frequency ratio of the main clock signal to the data clock signal and transmitting the division ratio information to the memory controller to perform the first training. A first loop operation includes: receiving first phase control information, which is generated based on the division ratio information, from the memory controller, dividing the data clock signal based on the division ratio to generate a division data clock signal, selecting a first phase from among a plurality of phases based on the first phase control information, generating a first comparison target clock signal that is shifted from the division data clock signal by the first phase, comparing a phase of the first comparison target clock signal with a phase of the main clock signal, and transmitting a first phase comparison result to the memory controller.
A method of operating a memory device configured to perform first training comprising a plurality of loop operations to align a main clock signal and a data clock signal, which are received from a memory controller, the method comprising generating division ratio information indicating a division ratio set based on a frequency ratio of the main clock signal to the data clock signal and transmitting the division ratio information to the memory controller to perform the first training,
A method of operating a memory device, the method comprising:
A memory device configured to perform a memory operation by using a main clock signal and a data clock signal that are received from a memory controller, the memory device comprising a phase adjustment circuit configured to generate a comparison target clock signal based on a frequency ratio of the main clock signal to the data clock signal to perform first training,
