Abstract:
A slew-rate controlled output driver for use in a semiconductor device includes a PVT variation detection unit having a delay line for receiving a reference clock in order to detect a delay amount variation of the delay line determined according to process, voltage and temperature (PVT) variation; a selection signal generation unit for generating a driving selection signal which corresponds to a detection signal generated by the PVT variation detection unit; and an output driving unit having a plurality of driver units controlled by an output data and the driving selection signal for driving an output terminal with a driving strength which corresponds to the PVT variation.
