Abstract:
A semiconductor device is provided that includes a first chip that generates a single signal by connecting a first signal line and a second signal line, to which differential signals are respectively provided, and outputs the single signal to a third signal line. The first chip is driven by a first power supply voltage. The semiconductor device also includes a second chip comprising an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that receives the single signal through the third signal line, compares the single signal with a reference voltage, and outputs a digital signal based on the comparison. The semiconductor device also includes a controller that monitors the digital signal and adjusts the reference voltage to be approximately equivalent to the first power supply voltage.
