A system includes memory chips mounted on a memory module each having an alert terminal that notifies that the memory chip has detected a predetermined error. The memory module has a first transmission line connected to alert terminals of memory chips, output terminal being connected to one end of the first transmission line, and a first termination resistor having an end connected to another end of the first transmission line. The system further includes a second transmission line having an end connected to the alert terminal and another end connected to a controller and a third transmission line having an end connected to a first input terminal on the memory module and a second end line and a second end having a voltage different from a voltage of another end of the first termination resistor.

Apparatuses and methods for coupling semiconductor devices of a memory module in a memory system

Disclosed herein is a device that includes a plurality of semiconductor chips mounted on a module substrate. Each of the semiconductor chips includes a reset terminal to which a reset signal is supplied, and an internal circuit that is initialized based on the reset signal. The module substrate includes a reset signal line connected commonly to the reset terminals of the semiconductor chips, and an anti-resonance element connected to the reset signal line.

A method for extracting an accurate IBIS simulation model of a semiconductor device including a plurality of semiconductor chips comprises: extracting an AC characteristics model of a first output buffer in an IBIS simulation model by treating first and second output buffers of first and second semiconductor chips connected to a single external connection terminal as a transistor model and executing a transistor-level circuit simulation; calculating an output capacitance model of the first output buffer as an IBIS simulation model by adding output capacitances of the first and second output buffers as a transistor-level circuit simulation model; and synthesizing an IBIS simulation model of the first output buffer viewed from the external connection terminal by using the AC characteristics model and the output capacitance model.
