Abstract

A method is described that involves, for a first read of information from a memory, activating termination loads on a memory controller's side of a data bus between a memory controller and a memory. The method also involves, for a write of information into the memory, deactivating the termination loads. The method also involves, for a second read of information from the memory, activating the termination loads.
