ON-DIE TERMINATION OPTIMIZATION

A receiver includes an ODT network and a signal eye sampler. The ODT network terminates a data communication interface at a selectable impedance including a nominal impedance, at least one higher impedance, and at least one lower impedance. The signal eye sampler determines an eye margin for data received on the data communication interface. The receiver selects the nominal impedance, determines a nominal eye margin associated with the nominal impedance, selects a delta impedance from one of the higher impedance and the lower impedance, determines a delta eye margin associated with the delta impedance, determines whether the delta eye margin is greater than the nominal eye margin, and sets a run time impedance value for the data communication interface to the delta impedance when the delta eye margin is greater than the nominal eye margin.
