Methods, systems, and devices for storing and reading data at a memory device are described. A memory device may utilize one or more storage states to store data within a data word. The memory device may exhibit higher data leakage or more power consumption when storing or reading a first storage state compared to storing or reading one or more other storage states. In some cases, the memory device may generate a second data word corresponding to a first data word by modifying each symbol type of the first data word to generate a different symbol type for the second data word. A memory device may reduce the occurrence of a storage state associated with large data leakage, or high-power consumption, or both. Further, the memory device may generate and store an indicator indicating the transformation of a corresponding data word.

The embodiments described herein describe technologies for using the memory modules in different modes of operation, such as in a standard multi-drop mode or as in a dynamic point-to-point (DPP) mode (also referred to herein as an enhanced mode). The memory modules can also be inserted in the sockets of the memory system in different configurations.

Local input/output (LIO) lines may be used for precharging and equalizing the digit lines associated with a sense amplifier. The precharge device and equalization device of the associated sense amplifier may be omitted in some examples. In some examples, an equalization device may short the lines of a LIO line pair together. The LIO line pair may drive one or more pairs of digit lines to a precharge potential. Digit lines may be connected to the LIO line pair and driven to a midpoint potential in some examples.

Methods, systems, and devices for initializing memory systems are described. A memory system may transmit, to a host system over a first channel, signaling indicative of a first set of values for a set of parameters associated with communicating information over a second channel between a storage device of the memory system and a memory device of the memory system. The host system may transmit, to the memory system, additional signaling associated with the first set of values for the set of parameters. For instance, the host system may transmit a second set of values for the set of parameters, an acknowledgement to use the first set of values, or a command to perform a training operation on the second channel to identify a second set of values for the set of parameters. The memory system may communicate the information over the second channel based on the additional signaling.
