Abstract:
A memory module includes an external resistor and a plurality of memory devices commonly connected to the external resistor. Each of the memory devices includes a first reception pad and a first transmission pad. The first reception pad is associated with receiving an impedance calibration command and the first transmission pad is associated with transmitting the impedance calibration command. Each of the memory devices transfers the impedance calibration command to a first memory device which is selected as a master among the plurality of memory devices through a ring topology. The first memory device performs an impedance calibration operation, determines a resistance and a target output high level voltage of an output driver in response to the impedance calibration command, and transfers the impedance calibration command to a second memory device after performing the impedance calibration operation.

Claim (Index 9):
The memory module of  claim 3 , Wherein the command controller comprises:\n a path decision logic configured to receive the impedance calibration command from one of the first reception pad and the corresponding command decoder and is configured to provide a path information signal that indicates a reception path of the impedance calibration command and tag information; a signal generator configured to determine a logic level of the calibration enable signal in response to the detection signal and the path information signal to output the calibration enable signal; and a state machine configured to determine a logic level of an internal calibration mask signal based on the calibration enable signal and transitions of the first comparison signal and the second comparison signal, wherein the signal generator is further configured to provide the path decision logic with a path control signal to control a transfer of the impedance calibration command and a change of the tag information based on a state of the state machine.
