Abstract

A memory device is connected through an interface to a memory controller. The controller's reference voltage is set based on a driver's impendence of the memory device during driver training. The voltage is applied to a reference resistor pair at the controller and changed until the voltage level switches. The voltage is then set at the reference resistor pair of the controller.
