Per-pin compact reference voltage generator
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for generating a reference voltage are described. In various embodiments, an interface between a memory and a processor uses a reference voltage generator to generate a reference voltage for a single pin or a small group of pins. The generator generates a default reference voltage from a first tap in a resistor ladder, injects current with a current controller into a second tap of the resistor ladder when the generator receives an indication to generate a larger reference voltage, and draws current from a third tap of the resistor ladder when the generator receives an indication to generate a smaller reference voltage. The generator also generates a high threshold voltage independent of a low threshold voltage after calibration.
