3.1.1. Single-Ended I/O Standard OCT Termination

Serial (RS) and parallel (RT) OCT provides I/O impedance matching and termination capabilities. OCT maintains signal quality, saves board space, and reduces external component costs.

The OCT calibration circuit uses the impedance of the external resistor that is connected to the RZQ pin as reference. The impedance of the I/O buffer is continuously altered until the target impedance is achieved during OCT calibration. The targeted impedance is achieved when the impedance of I/O buffer reaches a predetermined ratio to the reference resistance.
