A driver system, a driver calibration circuit arrangement for calibration of an impedance of a driver circuit arrangement, and a method for calibration of an impedance of a driver circuit arrangement can achieve improved driver behavior, with respect to undesirable distortions of the slew rate caused by off-chip drivers of DDR memory modules. A driver system has a first driver part with at least one variable impedance by which an operating point of the first driver part is determined with respect to a first potential and a second potential. The potentials supply the first driver part. A first monitoring device adjusts an impedance value of the variable impedance such that the operating point differs from a mid-point of the first and of the second potential.

A calibration configuration for setting an adjustable impedance has a voltage divider with a variable resistor and a resistor connected in series, which circuit is supplied with potentials of a supply voltage and has, between the resistors, a partial voltage tap off terminal. A circuit has a further resistor, whose value is in a fixed relationship with a resistance of the first voltage divider resistor, and generates a voltage dependent upon a value derived from the further resistor. The voltage and the partial voltage are fed to a comparator for outputting a comparison result to a downstream control logic unit, which logic unit is coupled to the resistor of the first voltage divider and generates a control signal dependent upon the comparator output signal. The control logic unit control signal is used to set the variable resistor until the voltages fed to the comparator correspond to one another.

摘要:
A method and a device generate a reference voltage for discriminating between the logic states of a data signal received at a receiving end. A transmitting device transmits a continuous clock signal with a constant pulse period duration and a symmetrical sequence of low and high clock signal states in such a way that, at the receiver end, the clock signal has the same low and high voltage levels as the received data signal and it is subject to the same system-governed variations as the received data signal. An integrator at the receiver end receives and integrates the clock signal, and the integrated value becomes the reference voltage for the receiver unit.
