Abstract

A memory module includes semiconductor memory devices, a power management integrated circuit (PMIC), and a control device. The semiconductor memory devices, mounted on a circuit board, operate based on a power supply voltage. The PMIC, mounted on the circuit board, generates the power supply voltage, provides the power supply voltage to the semiconductor memory devices, and stores a trimming control code associated with a minimum level of the power supply voltage when the semiconductor memory devices operate normally in a test mode. During the test mode, the PMIC adjusts a level of the power supply voltage, tests the semiconductor memory devices using the adjusted power supply voltage, and stores the trimming control code based on a result of the test. The control device controls the PMIC based on a first control signal received from an external device.
