Abstract

Provided is a method for operating an interface circuit of a memory device. The method includes receiving a command from a controller; determining whether the command is for a semiconductor memory or the interface circuit, the semiconductor memory operatively coupled to the interface circuit; and when it is determined that the command is for the interface circuit, performing a blocking operation to block transfer of the command between the interface circuit and the semiconductor memory and performing an internal operation of the interface circuit. The internal operation includes a signal controlling operation, a training operation, a read operation, an on-die termination operation, a ZQ calibration operation, or a driving force control operation.
