Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of operating an input/output interface includes selecting one of a plurality of output driver circuits according to a mode selection signal, and outputting a data signal using the selected one of the plurality of output driver circuits. Another method of operating an includes generating a mode selection signal based on a received command signal, and controlling an on-die termination (ODT) circuit included in the input/output interface according to the mode selection signal. Another method of operating an includes generating a mode selection signal based on a received command signal, and controlling an ODT circuit included in the input/output interface according to the mode selection signal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of operating an input/output interface comprising: selecting, by an output block of the input/output interface, one of a plurality of output driver circuits according to a mode selection signal, the mode selection signal being a control signal for controlling an on-die termination (ODT) circuit included in the input/output interface, the mode selection signal indicating an operation mode for one of a high speed operation and a low speed operation an…
