Abstract
A method for controlling a plurality of logical units of a flash memory includes: transmitting on-die termination (ODT) enabling control information over a control bus corresponding to the plurality of logical units through a data transmission start command to enable ODT operation of one or more non-target logical units; and transmitting ODT disabling control information over the control bus through a data transmission terminate command or a data transmission pause command to disable ODT operation of the one or more non-target logical units.

A method for controlling a plurality of logical units of a flash memory, comprising:
- transmitting on-die termination (ODT) enabling control information over a control bus corresponding to the plurality of logical units through a data transmission start command to enable ODT operation of one or more non-target logical units;
- and
- transmitting ODT disabling control information over the control bus through a data transmission terminate command or a data transmission pause command to disable ODT operation of the one or more non-target logical units.
A memory controller for controlling a plurality logical units in a flash memory, comprising:
- a storage unit configured to store program codes;
- and
- a processing unit configured to execute the program code to perform operations on the flash memory, comprising:
- transmitting an on-die termination (ODT) enabling control information over a control bus corresponding to the plurality of logical units through a data transmission start command to enable ODT operation of one or more non-target logical units;
- and
- transmitting an ODT disabling control information over the control bus through a data transmission terminate command or a data transmission pause command to disable ODT operation of the one or more non-target logical units.
