Abstract
Methods of operating a memory system comprising a plurality of memory devices include loading respective sets of termination information to a subset of memory devices of the plurality of memory devices, and, for each memory device of the subset of memory devices, storing its respective set of termination information to an array of non-volatile memory cells of that memory device. For each memory device of the subset of memory devices, its respective set of termination information comprises address information of the memory system and one or more termination values associated with that address information.
Claims20
A method of operating a memory system comprising a plurality of memory devices, the method comprising:
- loading respective sets of termination information to a subset of memory devices of the plurality of memory devices;
- and
- for each memory device of the subset of memory devices, storing its respective set of termination information to an array of non-volatile memory cells of that memory device;
- wherein, for each memory device of the subset of memory devices, its respective set of termination information comprises address information of the memory system and one or more termination values associated with that address information.
A method of operating a memory system comprising a plurality of memory devices, with each memory device of the plurality of memory devices comprising a plurality of memory packages, the method comprising:
- for each memory device of a subset of memory devices of the plurality of memory devices appointed to act as termination devices:
- loading respective sets of termination information to a subset of memory packages of that memory device;
- wherein, for each memory package of the subset of memory packages of that memory device, its respective set of termination information comprises address information of the memory system;
- and
- wherein, for a particular memory device of the subset of memory devices, loading the respective set of termination information to a particular memory package of the particular memory device comprises loading the respective set of termination information to the particular memory package comprising address information corresponding to a memory device of the plurality of memory devices different than the particular memory device.
A method of operating a memory system comprising a plurality of memory devices, the method comprising:
- loading respective sets of termination information to a subset of memory devices of the plurality of memory devices;
- for each memory device of the subset of memory devices, storing its respective set of termination information to non-volatile storage of that memory device;
- and
- for each memory device of the subset of memory devices, transferring its respective set of termination information from the non-volatile storage of that memory device to a volatile storage of that memory device;
- wherein, for each memory device of the subset of memory devices, its respective set of termination information comprises address information of the memory system and one or more termination values associated with that address information.
