Abstract

A memory interface system comprising a differential control interface coupled with a first power supply, a common voltage supply and a buffer unit. The control interface is configured to drive a first and a second differential control output signal wherein the voltage output swing of the first and second differential control output signals is between a voltage output high level and the common voltage. The system also comprising a plurality of single-ended memory interfaces coupled with a second power supply, the common voltage supply and the buffer unit, wherein each memory interface is configured to drive a single-ended memory output signal to the common voltage to transfer a logic low, and the system also comprising the buffer unit coupled with the first power supply, the buffer unit configured to transfer data between the control interface and the memory interface.
