Abstract

Apparatuses and methods for asymmetric input/output interfaces for memory are disclosed. An example apparatus may include a receiver and a transmitter. The receiver may be configured to receive first data signals having a first voltage swing and having a first slew rate. The transmitter may be configured to provide second data signals having a second voltage swing and having a second slew rate, wherein the first and second voltage swings are different, and wherein the first and second slew rates are different.
