    Abstract: A method, apparatus and system. The method includes: performing one or more training iterations to tune a target clock signal frequency to be applied at a memory device, each of the one or more training iterations including: causing a modified clock signal frequency to be applied at the memory device; and decoding a quality feedback message from the memory device including an indication of a performance of the clock signal frequency at the memory device; and in response to a determination that the performance of the clock signal frequency falls within a target performance range of the memory device and that the clock signal frequency is below the target clock signal frequency, performing a subsequent training iteration of the one or more training iterations, and otherwise causing application at the memory device, during a memory operation, of a highest clock signal frequency corresponding to a training iteration for which performance of the clock signal was within the target performance range.

    Abstract: A method performed by a memory chip is described. The method includes receiving an activated chip select signal. The method also includes receiving, with the chip select signal being activated, a command code on a command/address (CA) bus that identifies a next portion of an identifier for the memory chip. The method also includes receiving the next portion of the identifier on a portion of the memory chip's data inputs. The method also includes repeating the receiving of the activated chip select signal, the command code and the next portion until the entire identifier has been received and storing the entire identifier in a register.

    Abstract: In a memory system, reference voltage training per path provides the capability to train receiver and transmitter reference voltages to optimal values based on selected feedback per path from the memory device. Training receiver reference voltages to an optimal receiver reference voltage per path includes programming dedicated mode registers that enable a local receiver voltage reference adjuster circuit to adjust the receiver reference voltage per path to the optimal receiver reference voltage per path. Transmitter reference voltage training includes the capability to also train an optimal input timing delay for an optimal transmitter reference voltage. Reference voltage training can be performed by a host component and/or a test system having access to the selected feedback per path of the memory device undergoing training.
