Abstract
For ODT (on-die termination) control within a memory module system, just one pin from the memory controller is used for sending command signals indicating an activated one of the memory devices. The activated memory device includes components that are turned on for generating the ODT control signal for controlling an ODT circuit of inactivated memory device(s). The components for generating an ODT control signal within the inactivated memory devices are turned off for minimized power consumption.
