APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING A SIGNAL, A METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME, A MEMORY DEVICE, AND A METHOD OF OPERATING THE MEMORY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18372726 titled 'APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING A SIGNAL, A METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME, A MEMORY DEVICE, AND A METHOD OF OPERATING THE MEMORY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a signal transmitting and receiving apparatus that includes on-die termination circuits and a control circuit. The on-die termination circuits are connected to different pins through which signals are transmitted or received. When enabled, each on-die termination circuit provides a termination resistance to the signal line connected to its respective pin. The control circuit independently controls the enable and disable times of each on-die termination circuit.
- The apparatus includes on-die termination circuits connected to different pins.
- The on-die termination circuits provide termination resistance to signal lines.
- The control circuit independently controls the enable and disable times of each on-die termination circuit.
Potential applications of this technology:
- High-speed data transmission: The on-die termination circuits can help improve signal integrity and reduce reflections in high-speed data transmission systems.
- Communication systems: The apparatus can be used in various communication systems, such as wireless networks, to enhance signal quality and minimize signal distortions.
- Integrated circuits: This technology can be implemented in integrated circuits to improve the performance and reliability of signal transmission and reception.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Signal reflections: The on-die termination circuits help reduce signal reflections, which can cause signal degradation and data errors.
- Signal integrity: By providing termination resistance, the apparatus ensures that signals are properly transmitted and received without distortion or loss.
- Interference: The control circuit allows independent control of each termination circuit, minimizing interference between different signal lines.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved signal quality: The on-die termination circuits enhance signal integrity, resulting in better quality signals with reduced noise and distortion.
- Increased data reliability: By minimizing signal reflections and distortions, the apparatus improves the reliability of data transmission and reception.
- Flexibility and control: The independent control of enable and disable times allows for fine-tuning and optimization of signal termination, adapting to different system requirements.
