Abstract
A device, computer system, and method are disclosed. In one embodiment, the device includes a memory buffer driver circuit that can drive signals on a memory channel at a given voltage level. The voltage at the voltage level is supplied to the memory buffer driver circuit from a rail of a power delivery network. The voltage level exhibits a repeatable fluctuation cycle at a resonant frequency of the power delivery network. The device also includes an on-die termination logic circuit that asserts a first termination resistance on the memory channel after the memory channel enters an idle state but before the voltage level reaches a peak of the repeatable fluctuation cycle. The on-die termination logic circuit then deasserts the first termination resistance on the memory channel at a later point in time.
