Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for detecting a state of a bus are described. A memory device may fail to receive or decode (e.g., successfully receive or successfully decode) an access command transmitted to the memory device via a bus. The bus may enter or remain in an idle state which may cause indeterminate signals to develop on the idle bus. A host device may obtain the indeterminate signals from the idle bus and determine that the indeterminate signals include an error based on a signal that develops on a control line of the idle bus. The signal may be associated with a control signal that indicates errors in a data signal when the control signal has a first voltage, and the control line may be configured to have the first voltage when the bus is idle.
