Systems and methods are provided for performing “smooth RTT transitions” to avoid unintended fluctuations in termination resistance (RTT) values (e.g., unexpected values during skewing). RTT control signals (e.g., RTT_PARK, RTT_WR, RTT_NOM_WR, RTT_NOM_RD) are converted from binary codes to unary codes, and resistance drivers are enabled/disabled based on the unary codes to provide corresponding termination resistance of the RTT control signals. There is no unintended value that occurs during the transitioning of the termination resistance from one value to another value. Accordingly, noises on the transmission line (e.g., connecting the memory device to a host device) caused by unintended fluctuations are reduced/avoided.
