Abstract

System and method for dynamic termination control to enable use of an increased number of memory modules on a single channel. In some embodiments, six or eight DIMMs are coupled to a single channel. The dynamic termination scheme can include configurations for input bus termination (IBT) on each of the memory modules for the address bus/command bus and configurations for on-die termination (ODT) one each of the memory modules for the data bus.
