Abstract:
A memory device includes a first on-die termination circuit, a second on-die termination circuit, a voltage generator, and a code generator. The first on-die termination circuit may correspond to a data input buffer. The second on-die termination circuit may correspond to a command/address buffer. The voltage generator may generate a reference voltage. The code generator may generate a resistance calibration code of a selected one of the on-die termination circuits in response to the reference voltage. The reference calibration code may calibrate a resistance value of the selected on-die termination circuit.
