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 1):
A memory module comprising:\n an external resistor formed in a module board; and a plurality of memory devices including a first memory device and a second memory device, and commonly connected to the external resistor, wherein each of the plurality of memory devices comprises: a selection pad; a first reception pad associated with receiving an impedance calibration command; and a first transmission pad associated with transmitting the impedance calibration command, wherein each of the plurality of memory devices is configured to transfer the impedance calibration command to the first memory device, which is selected as a master, among the plurality of memory devices through a ring topology constituted by the first reception pad and the first transmission pad, wherein the first memory device is configured to perform an impedance calibration operation for the first memory device, to determine a resistance and a target output high level (VOH) voltage of an output driver, in response to the impedance calibration command, and is configured to transfer the impedance calibration command to the second memory device adjacent to the first memory device through the first transmission pad of the first memory device after performing the impedance calibration operation for the first memory device, wherein when the selection pad of the first memory device is connected to a ground voltage or a power supply voltage, the selection pad of the second memory device is floated, and wherein when the selection pad of the first memory device is floated, the selection pad of the second memory device is connected to the ground voltage.
