Abstract
A resistance of configurable termination circuitry located at an interface between a memory component and a processing device is adjusted. The configurable termination circuitry includes a plurality of transistors, a plurality of switches coupled to the plurality of transistors, and a plurality of resistors coupled to the plurality of switches. The resistance of the configurable termination circuitry is adjusted based on a mode of the configurable termination circuitry.
Claims17
A system, comprising:
- a memory component;
- and
- a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory component, to adjust a resistance of configurable termination circuitry located at an interface between the memory component and the processing device, wherein the configurable termination circuitry includes:
- a plurality of transistors;
- a plurality of switches coupled to the plurality of transistors;
- and
- a plurality of resistors coupled to the plurality of switches;
- and
- wherein the processing device is to adjust the resistance of the configurable termination circuitry based on a mode of the configurable termination circuitry by turning two of the plurality of switches on and turning two of the plurality of switches off.
