Abstract

Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to systems, methods, and apparatuses for polarity driven on-die termination. In some embodiments, an integrated circuit includes an input/output (I/O) circuit to receive a command and an on-die termination (ODT) pin to receive one or more ODT signals. The integrated circuit may further include control logic coupled to the ODT pin, the control logic to enable, at least in part, a multiplexing of an ODT activation signal and an ODT value selection signal on the ODT pin, the control logic further to control a length of termination based, at least in part, on the command. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
