Abstract

Methods and apparatuses for performing receive and transmit path tuning of a toggle mode interface between a primary controller and a secondary controller is disclosed. A first component having a variable setting and connected with a data bus of the interface is iteratively adjusted. For each setting of the first component, test data written to the secondary controller and a delay unit having a variable delay setting and connected with a strobe line of the interface is adjusted. Delay settings are identified where the read data is equal to the written data. Settings for the first component and corresponding delay setting that produce the largest range of delay settings where the read data is equal to the written data is selected. The first component may correspond to a driver unit in the primary controller or an ODT unit in the secondary controller.
