Abstract
An operating method of a storage system includes transmitting a first access command to a first non-volatile memory device, checking a status of the first non-volatile memory device, and performing a first ZQ calibration on the first non-volatile memory device through a DQ pin of the first non-volatile memory device during a time when the first non-volatile memory device is in a busy status.
Claims20
An operating method of a storage system, the method comprising:
- transmitting a first access command to a first non-volatile memory device;
- checking a status of the first non-volatile memory device;
- and
- performing a first ZQ calibration on the first non-volatile memory device through a DQ pin of the first non-volatile memory device during a time when the first non-volatile memory device is in a busy status.
1 more element
A storage system comprising:
- a storage controller;
- and
- a plurality of non-volatile memory devices connected to the storage controller with a first signal line for transmitting a command and an address and a second signal line for transmitting data,
- wherein the first signal line and the second signal line are separated from each other, and
- wherein the storage controller is configured to:
- transmit an access command as the command to a first non-volatile memory device of the plurality of non-volatile memory devices using the first signal line;
- receive a logic level of a ready/busy signal using a R/B pin of the first non-volatile memory device during a time when an operation corresponding to the access command is performed on the first non-volatile memory device;
- check a status of the first non-volatile memory device on the first signal line;
- perform, in response to the logic level of the ready/busy signal representing a busy status, a ZQ calibration on the first non-volatile memory device;
- and
- check, after the performing of the ZQ calibration, the status of the first non-volatile memory device.

A storage system comprising:
- a plurality of non-volatile memory devices;
- and
- a storage controller connected to the plurality of non-volatile memory devices and configured to:
- perform a first ZQ calibration on the plurality of non-volatile memory devices which are turned on,
- transmit an access command through a DQ pin each of the plurality of non-volatile memory devices,
- receive a busy status signal indicating a busy status from each of the plurality of non-volatile memory devices operating in response to the access command,
- perform a second ZQ calibration on the plurality of non-volatile memory devices, and
- check whether the second ZQ calibration is correctly performed on each of the plurality of non-volatile memory devices.
