    摘要: A memory system includes a memory device and a controller. The controller is coupled to the memory device through input/output (I/O) lines. The controller includes an interface component and a dummy power consumption component. The interface component performs a signal training operation for adjusting a timing of a clock signal, to which test data is synchronized. The dummy power consumption component performs a dummy power consumption operation while the signal training operation is performed.

    摘要: A memory controller may control a memory device. The memory device may be coupled to the memory controller through a channel. The memory controller may include an idle time monitor and a clock signal generator. The idle time monitor may output an idle time interval of the memory device. The idle time interval may be between an end time of a previous operation of the memory device and a start time of a current operation. The clock signal generator may generate a clock signal based on the idle time interval and output the clock signal to the memory device through the channel to perform a current operation.
