A method is described. The method includes configuring first register space to establish ODT values of a data strobe signal trace of a DDR data bus. The method also includes configuring second register space to establish ODT values of a data signal trace of the DDR data bus. The ODT values for the data strobe signal trace are different than the ODT values for the data signal trace. The ODT values for the data strobe signal do not change when consecutive write operations of the DDR bus write to different ranks of a same DIMM.

DDR memory bus with a reduced data strobe signal preamble timespan

An apparatus is provided which comprises: a first power supply rail to provide a first power supply; second and third power supply rails to provide second and third power supplies, respectively, wherein a voltage level of the first power supply is higher than a voltage level of each of the second and third power supplies; a first driver circuitry coupled to the first power supply rail and the second power supply rail; a second driver circuitry coupled to the third power supply rail, and coupled to the first driver circuitry; and a stack of transistors of N conductivity type coupled to the first power supply rail, and to the second driver circuitry.

Dual power I/O transmitter

An apparatus is provided which comprises: a first circuitry to sample a first input signal to generate a first sampled signal, and to sample a second input signal to generate a second sampled signal, wherein the first input signal comprises data; a second circuitry to receive the first sampled signal and the second sampled signal, and to generate a first pair of differential signals; an offset cancellation circuitry to cancel or reduce an offset in the first pair of differential signals; and a latch to receive the first pair of differential signals subsequent to the cancellation or reduction of the offset, and to output a second pair of differential signals, wherein the second pair of differential signals is indicative of the data.
