According to an aspect of an example embodiment, An apparatus for checking an on-die termination (ODT) state is provided. The apparatus includes: a first device including a first controller and a first ODT circuit connected to a first pin and set to a first ODT state; and a second device including a second controller and a second ODT circuit connected to a second pin and set to a second ODT state, wherein the second pin is connected to the first pin through a signal line. The first controller is configured to disable the first ODT circuit when the apparatus is an asymmetric ODT in which the first ODT state and the second ODT state are different and a signal is not transmitted through the signal line, and the second controller is configured to disable the second ODT circuit when the apparatus is the asymmetric ODT and the signal is not transmitted through the signal line.
The above and other objects, features and advantages will be more apparent from the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
