Abstract

Systems and methods disclosed herein provide for an improved termination leg unit design and method of trimming impedance thereof, which provides for improved impedance matching for process variations, along with variations in temperature and voltage. Example implementation provide for a leg unit circuit design that includes a first circuit compensating for temperature and voltage variations and a second circuit, connected in series with the first circuit, compensating for process variations. Furthermore, disclosed herein is ZQ calibration method that provides for calibrating of the impedance of each of an on-die termination, a pull-up driver, and a pull-down driver using a single calibration circuit.
