Claim 12:
13. A method for calibrating a plurality of signal processing devices in an interface circuit of a memory controller, wherein the memory controller is coupled to a memory device for controlling access to the memory device and comprised in a data storage device which is coupled to a host device, and the method comprises:
negotiating with the host device in a link up process about an operation mode for the interface circuit to operate in a calibration procedure; and
calibrating a characteristic value of a first signal processing device and a characteristic value of a second signal processing device in the calibration procedure, wherein the first signal processing device is disposed on a receiving signal processing path of the interface circuit and configured to process a received signal and the second signal processing device is disposed on a transmitting signal processing path of the interface circuit and configured to process a transmitting signal, and
wherein the interface circuit is configured to operate based on the operation mode in the calibration procedure.
