A universal flash storage (UFS) device includes a UFS data lane comprising a first UFS lane for a first direction in which data is output to a UFS host, a second UFS lane for a second direction in which data is received from the UFS host, and bidirectional UFS lanes capable of switching the first direction and the second direction according to an operation mode. A UFS device controller switches a data transmission direction of the bidirectional UFS lanes, based on a control signal indicating the operation mode.

UFS device, method of operating the UFS device, and system including the UFS device

An interconnect module device is provided. The interconnect module device includes a line control command (LCC) detecting circuit configured to identify an LCC signal; an equalizer control circuit configured to generate a control signal based on the LCC signal; a receiving equalizer configured to perform receiving equalization on a first signal received from a first universal flash storage (UFS) device based on the control signal to generate a second signal; and a transmitting equalizer configured to perform transmitting equalization on the second signal to generate a third signal based on the control signal, and transmit the third signal to a second UFS device.
