Abstract

A memory system including: a memory controller to transmit a command, an address, or data to a first channel based on a data input/output signal having one of N (N is a natural number of three or more) different voltage levels during a first time interval, the memory controller transmitting the command, the address, or the data not transmitted during the first time interval to the first channel based on the data input/output signal having one of two different voltage levels during a second time interval; and a memory device to sample the data input/output signal received via the first channel during the first time interval in a pulse amplitude modulation (PAM)-N mode, the memory device sampling the data input/output signal received via the first channel during the second time interval in a non return to zero (NRZ) mode.
