    Abstract: A multi-chip package with reduced calibration time and an impedance control (ZQ) calibration method thereof are provided. A master chip of the multi-chip package performs a first ZQ calibration operation by using a ZQ resistor, and then, the other slave chips simultaneously perform second ZQ calibration operations with respect to data input/output (DQ) pads of the slave chips by using a termination resistance value of a DQ pad of the master chip on the basis of a one-to-one correspondence relationship with the DQ pad of the master chip. The multi-chip package completes ZQ calibration by performing two ZQ calibration operations, thereby decreasing a ZQ calibration time.

    Abstract: A memory device includes data pads that are connected to an external memory controller, a ZQ pad that is connected to an external resistor, data drivers and receivers that are connected to the data pads and output first data signals to the data pads or receive second data signals from the data pads, and a ZQ calibrator that is connected to the ZQ pad. The memory device performs ZQ calibration based on a voltage of the ZQ pad, generates ZQ codes as a result of the ZQ calibration, and provides the ZQ codes to the data drivers and receivers. The ZQ calibrator performs a first-type ZQ calibration in response to a command received from the external memory controller and performs a second-type ZQ calibration without the command being received from the external memory controller.

    Abstract: A method of operating a system including a parameter monitoring circuit and a host, includes generating a first parameter applying a first code to a current parameter, wherein a first offset is applied to the first code; generating a first comparison result by comparing the first parameter with a reference parameter value; generating a second parameter applying a second code to the current parameter, wherein a second offset is applied to the second code; generating a second comparison result by comparing the second parameter with the reference parameter value; detecting an error in the current parameter, based on the first comparison result and the second comparison result; and providing a signal based on the error to the host.
